demand goes down
If the cost of supply falls for each unit of supply (a shift of the supply curve right), the change in price depends on the price elasticity of demand: Price is unchanged when price elasticity of demand is infinite. Price falls when price elasticity of demand is less than infinite.
then the price goes up
I assume that when you say "elasticity," you mean "price elasticity of demand."Raise price a little. If total revenue goes up, you're in the INELASTIC region (where absolute value of elasticity is greater than 1). If it goes down, you're in the ELASTIC region.
Price elasticity that is positive is uncommon. The buyers of gasoline would be generally wealthy individuals who believe that the more expensive the gasoline, the better it must be. Thus, as the price of gasoline goes up, the quantity of gasoline demanded by wealthy people goes up as well. A more suitable product with a positive price elasticity of demand (PED) would be for instance caviar.

The price goes down.
The price goes down because of supply and demand.
Elasticity is "a measure of responsiveness that tells us how a dependent variable such as a quantity responds to a change in an independent variable such as price." Basically, that means that elastic product's demand is affected by price and an inelastic product's demand is unaffected by price.For example: if a product is elastic, the price goes up and demand goes down, or the price goes down and demand goes up. Examples are electronics, candy and junk food, and even cars.If a product is inelastic, the demand will stay the same no matter the price. Examples are medical supplies.
It goes up
The price goes up if the demand is high
The price goes down, and the quantity supplied goes up
What ever the demand is it's scarce
This is possible because demand is a function of many many factors. The biggest ones are price and wealth (also known as income). If an agent's income goes up, their demand for any given good will also good up. If the price goes up, an agent's demand will go down. Thus you have the price and income elasticity of demand. In a market with two goods, if agents divide their income amongst goods (for instance apples and oranges), you could easily derive a cross-price elasticity of demand that measures how much the price/demand of one good changes when the other good changes.
