1 gallon in usa costs about 3 dollar.

It is actually closer to 4 dollars now. But ya, it is still pretty cheap compared to most places.

We have to keep getting oil from other countries (and some of them don�t like us) and gas keeps going up

Who had the smart idea of sanctioning Iran and causing the flow of Iranian gas to stop, therefore restricting supply and therefore pushing up prices? Thank you Americans.

Also, suck it up with your blanket Republican zealot views. Obama has called for more offshore drilling.

who is "they're"? usa or europe?
and where do you drive around this car that does 30mpg?

anyway in my country the hybird cars are kinda booming because they had (until few weeks ago) to pay less taxes. so alot people here drive 1-35 1-50. (1 liter - km's driving) if that matters anything =S

oops forgot the quote. here we go ^^

It's mainly because they're driving cars that get 10-15 MPG. I drive a car that gets 30 MPG, and I spend around 5-10 dollars a week on gas. It's not even worth noting.

USA.

and where do you drive around this car that does 30mpg?

On a typical day, my brother's school, my school, when I have lunch I stop by a market to get tea then home to eat lunch. When I'm done with my classes I pick up my brother then head home. After that it just depends on what I feel like doing. It varies from going to a park, a gym, a friends house, or staying home. So on a typical week I drive around 25 miles.

So apparently, we aren't drilling in alaska due to enviormantal reasons. I have a hunch that thay also did that because of supply and demand, less gas=more money, more money=richer oil tycoons.

Oil is a global commodity. With the paltry reserves that America has, drilling does little to impact the oil prices because you can't affect the supply much. Even if America drills, it won't push down your gas prices.

So yes, don't bring in ''supply and demand'' without understanding everything first.
