Will gas prices go down once the war is over?

Do you think the gas prices will finally go back to under 2 dollars or less after the war in Iraq is over?

I'm not sure honestly, but I'd REALLY like them too, since gas is taking more money out of my check then the court.

I'm going to say no.

The answer you want is much more complicated than a yes or no answer. The cost of energy for one, is going up, therefourth the cost of gas, from crude oil and the refiniries are obviously going to cost more.

Inflation is happing right now. The United states goes through periods of which it will inflate and deflate, the price of everything will basically go up during inflation, while deflation will be the exact opposite, saying the price of the war having an effect on inflation is debateable, I am unsure of that fact.

The are only a few select things that will make our prices go down.

- OPEC decides to un-gouge us and release the stranglehold they have on our profits.
- We get rid of our OIL-embargo. We have a law in effect that doesn't allow us to drill our own oil, we have to have it imported.
-More refiniries. Under President Bush we've failed to really get any energy independance up and running, it has been the most undercut program the government has promised to date, and now we're paying the price for it.

What's the purpose of not being able to drill our own oil? That seems like a stupid law to me...

It's an embargo, an international law that protects us from Monopoling all of the oil for ourselves and cutting out supplies from everywhere else, atleast from what I've heard.

I don't think so. Since the government is taking all the oil from IRAQ and AFGHANISTAN atm, gas prices shouldn've went down. So if they're still expensive while we're taking the oil imagine how they will be when we don't have any other oil to take. I don't acctually know what the fuck I'm talking about right now. But I'm hungry.

Brb.

You really don't have any idea what you're talking about.

If we were taking all the oil, the prices would be way lower.

Where do you get your facts? Ive been to Iraq, and never once did I see us taking oil.

No, mainly because if I was part of OPEC making that much money, I wouldn't care how much Americans spent on gas. They get it damn cheap anyways.

no because world wide demand is to high
