Why Did Gasoline Prices Go Up? Includes also some commentary on American attitudes toward automobiles

If everyone else in the world is paying a lot more for gas, why shouldn't Americans? Take your average spoiled American who blames the Arabs for raising the gas prices unfairly in order to make a bigger profit. It's true, gas prices have gone up by a lot in the last few months, but is that unfair? Prices still are a lot higher in Canada, Europe and just about any other developed nation, according to …

…not cut and dried. Many Americans may blame it on money hungry Arabs and whine about having to pay more to fuel their expensive cars, but can we really feel sorry for them??? I myself am from Europe and think that people in America have it pretty good. If anything, maybe they should stop driving such expensive cars at the speeds that they do, and maybe take a bike trip every once in a while. 1
