let's run down the excuses I have heard: BAD NEWS gas is going UP because it's the beginning of the vacation season demand is high. BAD NEWS gas is going UP because it's the END of the vacation season demand is low lol BAD NEWS gas is going UP because demand is high we don't have enough refinery. so sad. BAD NEWS gas is going UP (again) because we have a SURPLUS (out of nowhere ) can't make as much $ our refinery aren't at full production Always bad news, i feel sorry for oil
