Why do the Gas prices rise and fall at a rate that is horrendous.?? Speculators, maybe. They were responsible for the costs of Gas rising so fast last year and earlier this year. Now what? The speculators are the ones that cause most of the prices to rise. When in reality, they have no viable interest in the gas, except to make money. And they make money off the backs of anyone that has a vehicle that requires gas. When will we get to a point where eneregy effiecent vehicles will be mass produced and available to the genereal public and a resonable cost???
