I have listened to so many declare the same old reasons: government blocking new drilling or new refineries, new environmental regulations, blah, bah, blah. All the while current gasoline supplies in the USA are going up into excessive surplus. The prices in Europe are not going up at any where near the rate of increase in the USA. When you have too much of an accumulating supply of something, you cut prices to encourage sales to reduce inventory. In this case, I do not believe such attempts at reduction can keep up with inflation. Now how to explain a declining dollar, yet gold remains depressed and relatively flat in price.
