Gas prices increase when the demand increases compared to the supply, or when the cost of oil increases (due to demand, or if raised arbitrarily by the producers).
The best explanation for for the increase in the number of hybrids sold would be the increase in fuel prices. As gas and oil prices began to rise during the global financial crisis, many people decided to buy cars which were more fuel efficient.
it had something to do with taxes
Yes, gas hybrid cars cut down on the amount of gasoline that is being used. That alone will definitely save your wallet as you go to fill up. Also, with less gas usage, comes less drilling and exhaust fumes.
If possible, the gas will increase in volume. If it is unable to increase in volume for some reason, it will increase in pressure.
building more gas-powered cars burning more oil to heat homes
It's caused prices to rise significantly. The U.S. military uses a ton of gas every day to run its vehicles, and the added demand on gas has caused an increase of fuel costs. That coupled with the devaluation of the dollar, are probably the major causes of increased gas prices. Time published an article in 2003 that attributed a 30 cent rise in gas prices because the government bought an incredible amount for "reserve."
Because the electric cars are coming!
Because gas prices are soaring
because its the gas limit # it cost so much because of cars and trucks
If one is looking for cheap fuel for cars, look on sites that list gas prices in one's area. For example, in Ontario there is a site that will list gas prices in the name of the city one enters.
Gas prices have a direct impact on hybrid car prices, especially used hybrids. Hybrid cars generally have a long return on investment period, used hybrids do not have as long a time. Watch gas prices carefully. The time to buy a hybrid is when gas prices are low and demand drops. When gas prices are high, hybrid car dealers are able to charge premium prices. By timing the purchase correctly, the cost of the hybrid can be made up quickly in savings.
