It costs more to make and it protects your air quality. |
It is a tough crowd to try to convince. The message about what will happen, as far as how much money it will cost them and how they will lose their driving privileges if they get busted, seems to have more of an impact than (the message of) saving lives and preventing injuries. |
It would make sense that we'd start to see prices fall now that the storm has had less impact than was feared. |
It's a pattern. Prices go up, consumers get angry, politicians investigate, nothing changes. |
It's a very loaded term. The actual definition is determined by state governments, who define what taking 'unfair advantage' of a crisis is. Attorneys General monitor these situations closely. |
It's been brutal. We saw an unprecedented increase in the cost of gasoline, pushing past the $3 per gallon level, but we are starting to see prices creeping back down again. |
It's not like the government is going to come in and set price controls. (Fuel) is a commodity that's governed by the free market. Gasoline is like anything else; (corporations) will charge what people are willing to pay. |
It's only inexpensive compared to an all-time, record-high price. |
It's standard reasoning. When you have a commodity that's increased dramatically (in price), then it would attract the criminal element. |
Normally, that happens. There's no normal right now. |
People who buy hybrids also want to support the innovative technology to spur a technological answer to the challenge of high fuel prices and dependence on foreign oil. |
Prices are high -- the question is why? We have enough crude oil and gasoline to meet current demand, and yet the cost of fuel continues to cause budget concerns for many consumers. |
September will probably be an extremely unpleasant month at the pump. This goes to show that even if you're far away from where the hurricane hit, there's a ripple effect. |
Supply and demand are so related, if we all just save a couple gallons here and there it will have a dramatic effect on price. |
They're having a very good year, and that money is coming out of your pocket. |
