" Gas prices expected to rise in 2011 "
Ah well, were they ever expected to fall ? Not in my lifetime ..  Gas prices never reacted to a drop of stocks or larger amounts of resources found, those greedy managers and stock market analysts always raise the price. One time it was less wells, then it was China buying all crude oil and the last i learned was that the destitute oil industry needed money for investing in modern technologies  But the best was Exxon. They mixed some seed oils in their Diesel for cheaper production but told nobody. When the government recently demanded the mixing with some 10 percent of those oils, Exxon immediately raised the price because the mixing was so "costly" Messing around with customers has been raised to an art form  I have changed the Diesel engine of our old VW Quantum or Passat to run with pure rape seed oil, which is much cheaper (this is not "BioDiesel" b.t.w.), but needs a few injection and pre-glowing adjustments. Greetings, Catfish |

In Poland: 1,2 Euro for both Diesel and gas at BP (only Shell has higher prices) The prices have never been so high. Even when the barrel of oil was for 200$. (now they say it's 80$ ?) |

IIRC Kuwait were saying the other day that the world could withstand oil prices at over $100 per barrel. At the moment it's sitting at $89 bbl. We've been over $100bbl before, but it's come back down sharpish during the recession. As Skybird says, as the economies recover, growth will slowly return and the demand for oil will continue to increase.
Now, IIRC, our good friends OPEC ( <- Sarcasm) look like they may decide not to increase production in 2011 because there is enough for demand at the moment, which means, inevitably, the price of oil is going to rise and as such, the price at the pumps is going to rise. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BN16A20101225 With train fares going up over inflation in the UK too and bus fares not far behind, pretty soon it'll be horse and cart time!

 That being said though, the price of hay and straw these days... Still, probably still cheaper than a car.  |

Who on earth expected prices to go down? All the Iraq war did was raise oil companies profits. |

Actually I think it is only one guy saying that gas prices MIGHT go as high as $5.00 in 2012 and all the other stations are just repeating it.

Sharp rise for petrol and diesel prices in U.K
A government fuel duty increase on New Year's Day will put another 0.76p on to both petrol and diesel. On 4 January, the rise in VAT from 17.5% to 20% will mean yet another price rise.
