Why does it seem like gas is the only product that producers and consumers think normal supply-and-demand laws don’t apply? Prices rise where there is high demand. Prices fall when there is low demand. It’s simple.

Actually, the article makes the point that, because the American economy will be in tatters (shown by a poor job showing), gasoline prices will rise.

Less demand? Higher prices.

It's the new way.

would that be because they expect the Fed to cut rates anticipating weakening of economy, thus causing further weakness in the dollar?
