Complaints of rising gas prices as Ike hits
In this article written by CNN, they discuss a very controversial topic. The topic is “gas prices”. This article is talking about hurricane IKE and the speech George Bush gave about the hurricane not affecting the gas prices.
This article starts out with the current gas prices, the national average is $3.69 a gallon and within one day since the news about the hurricane it has raised to $4.99 in certain areas. George Bush spoke about the gas prices and about the hurricane and the affects it will have on the gas prices throughout the nation. George Bush recently spoke on this issue, and stated, “We are going to make sure you as consumers do not get gauged out of money”. In my opinion George Bush is lying about this topic, gas has risen by over fifty cents across the nation. Gas should not raise that much by just closing down the oil refineries in Texas. I believe we as a nation have plenty of gas saved up. We are just letting people think that we have none so they will be willing to pay almost an arm and a leg for gas.
I hate that everything revolves around supply and demand in this country. If everyone would just ignore the whole controversy about gas prices, then gas companies would not have a reason to keep raising the prices, if we would take a stand and not purchase gas when it gets outrages like it is then gas companies could not raise them.
I hope in the near future we can figure out a way to help out the consumers and the producers and find a median for both. On cheapgas.com they post the latest prices on gas in your area, that way we can save a bit of money.
