Will gas prices go down once the war is over?

I'm all for any alternative fuel sources, because you've got to figure in the long run do we always want to be dependant on foreign oil? Hell noes.

Gas prices are going up because of the falling value of the dollar, not a lack of supply.

Among other things, yes. I guess if you look at it in that reguard, our value of the dollar may go up, eventually after the war is over but it will probably be a long time to get back up to where we were since we are in such a horrible debt.

I respectfully disagree. I understand you're an econ major and everything, but blaming it on one variable is too simplistic. The falling dollar, increased demand, supply disruptions due to civil unrest, and maturing oil fields are all big issues. Of course the falling dollar might possibly be the largest culprit, but there are more things than just that.

god gave you feet why don't you all use it.

Osmoses, your people are driving ferraris and living in mansions because we aren't using our feet . Well, the upper class .

Yeah I know it's a multitude of issues; I just thought I'd point out a big one one that is often overlooked. I think the real issue with supply isn't that supply is actually running out (though it is technically) but that projected increases in demand (outside the US) are causing oil futures to skyrocket.

EDIT: Oh and I'm not trying to pretend I'm some sort of expert because I plan on majoring in econ; I definitely haven't learned enough yet to invoke myself as a credible source. I have done some reading on the subject, though, and hopefully am not misinformed.

I thought the biggest issue was not that it wasn't getting pumped efficently, but not being refined up to where it should be.
