Ahhh, the basics of supply & demand..... theoretically if the demand drops then so does the price.... as long as demand for something is high then sellers can set high prices. I wish this would work for gas prices, but as long as people keep driving the demand will still be high. For a while the gas prices dropped & I think it was because people were scared off & perhaps driving less or carpooling.... but then when prices dropped people began to drive more again.... at least that seems to be how it is where I live. After the super high prices after Katrina, gas was down to about $0.85 a litre, but now its back up to about $1.18 a litre. Although I am one of those people that only pumps $10 of gas at a time, mainly because I am too impatient to fill my tank & I hate spending $50 at a time to fill up.
