When demand is greater than supply, prices rise. Seasonal demand also affects oil and gas prices. Normally, gas prices rise every spring. The demand for gas increases in the summer as families go on vacation and hit the road. Regulations also require a shift to summer-grade gasoline, which is more expensive to produce. commodities traders create a self-fulfilling prophecy. This leads to an asset bubble. Unfortunately, the one who pays for this bubble is you at the gas pump. PLUS we pay extra 4% at the pump for ECAT (a failing bus system) approved by Escambia County Commissioners.
