Not one single factor cited by this so-called "expert" was concrete or true. Refineries were not actually impacted generally, and not a single one was shut down by Hurricane Isaac. There was nothing but the usual continuing bluster between Israel and Iran, 

SO his explanation about the recent rise in gas prices was nothing but wind and BS [a different type of "gas"] Spare us these pretenses of expert explanations which are nothing but industry shills mouthing propaganda.

well put Romney in and we will see 5 plus so his bull club makes more money and he gets more from his endorsers EXXON/MOBIL that he can put in his off shore acounts and not have a problem

the price should be less than 2 seeing it has more water and ethanol in it than actual oil(fuel)

people check this take a 1 gal jug of gas and put it away for 1 yr and try to light it with a match 1 yr later and you will not be able to even get a flame out of. 5 yrs ago you use to be able to take that same gal and it would egnite. so people the cost is just filling the wrong peoles pocket and we are getting stroked for every 10gal of fuel we buy it is only 2.5 gal of oil so inother words the only reason why is to make people like Romney RICH

 

The rich get richer ,companys DON,T give a rats Asssss about us only themselfs and their pocketbooks

how can u blame Obama when the average price of gasoline was 1.79 per gal when Bush took office??? FACT!!! i blame greed and the republicans.

blame obama and salazar for not attending to the problem,they are more concerned about relection than getting their job done.

The only way to get out of this problem is to drill for every gallon of oil we can and keep the money in this country. We have enough oil to last us another 200 years. if someone does come up with a car that will run on tap water so be it but until then we need to generate as much income as we can before oil becomes obsolete. Nobody every said that did they. Oil is a natural resource and should be used to our advantage. Secondly the Government should get a larger cut of any oil that is drilled out of government lands. Those funds should be directly applied to the national debt. We could pay off the national debt with fuel sales alone. By the time we pay off the debt some other technology may be available. But until then paying off the national debt will benefit everyone. The dollar will be worth much more. Inflation will be kept in check. Everyone's taxes will go down. It's a win win for everyone. We need to start thinking a head and selling our fuel on the open market and using the revenue from drilling on federal lands to pay off or debt is a good plan to start with.  We have enough oil to bail us out. 

why are gas prices rising..because they can. Speculators are running unchecked, and the consumer is being screed over while Wall Street gets richer. It's really that simple.

what is stupid title "Ask an expert: Why are gas prices rising?"
