Its called "peak oil" picture a nice bell shaped curve. There is only so much oil we have on earth. Peak oil is when we have passed the highest point on the bell curve or we can call it pass the half way mark of what is left in oil on earth. Since we have passed peak oil, we are on a downward slope on the curve. But our whole economy and the whole modern world is based around oil. So since we still produce the same amount of oil per day, demand has still increased. We simply can't just increase production. The problem now arises since we are on the downward slope of the curve is that we will continue to only produce this certain amount of oil per day, and we won't increase it, and since demand will increase your price gets increased.

Dunno if i briefly explained it well.... I suggest you look up the topic in your favorite search engine.

BTW, a lot of things are made from oil, Like plastic.... So be ready for everything to jump up in price. Also it takes oil or fossil fuels to produce things, so you get the picture now? Everything is going up in price with oil prices increasing.

It's happening just like that Oilstorm special on FX. I was shrooming when I watched that so I seriously didn't leave my house because I thought I was watching a news special on an oil crisis. I expected to leave my house and find riots in the streets LOL.

alot of nations other than the u.s. have been paying twice and in some cases triple that for years though. americans still have it made in terms of gas prices.


yeah you guys still have it good... paying 2,85 a gallon (4 liters)... over here gas is 1,30 EURO (about 1,85$) for only 1(!) liter... that means we are paying more than 7 american bucks for 1 gallon of gas...

Can anyone explain to me why it costs so damn much?



The average fuel economy of Ford's fleet is lower than the 1923 Model T Ford's.

We have efficient cars in Europe because our gas prices are way higher. This stimulates development of more efficient cars.

We are running out of oil in the world. High gas prices stimulate more efficient cars, taking a bike, the train or bus. This is good IMO. There are more problems than your own wallet.

Gas prices should be way higher.

Look at the related threads at the bottom here.
Peak Oil (Author: trendal)

That's a great place to start understanding why they are so high, whether we have hit peak or not.

I saw on FOX news yesterday a discussion about this very question. Some expert said that the supply of oil is not decreasing but the capacity to produce it is. So, whatever that means.

that means we're at the top of the bell curve right now... we aren't running out, but we're using too much too fast. There's no way they can produce it as fast as we 'need' it anymore.

energy demand > readily available energy will soon be true.

As Lun4e said previously, just make your own biodiesel.

All you need is sodium hydroxide (drain cleaner), methanol (HEET? Gas- Line Antifreeze) and used vegetable oil that you can pick up for free from bars/restaurants.

Give it a good shake and you've got yourself some biodiesel  :smile:

Fuel prices are ultimately set by the country you live in... Oil is higher in Europe because they have higher Tarrif's and none to little domestic production, Their model is going to be way different than it is in the U.S.

Here in the U.S. Tarrifs are high, a spike in domestic oil production is evidence of this.

World wide I don't know exactly what is causing prices to rise... I'm sure Peak Production has a lot to do with it.

I noticed someone said that some Saudi died... sounds about right, they own all of it anyway.
