Ugh, what can we say about petrol prices other than that they are high and kill your wallet when you fill up?

The world pretty much runs on petrol and fuel. We use it to heat our homes, drive our cars, operate machinery, transport goods, and many other causes. Rising costs of petrol increase the cost of just about everything else in the economy, and with the income levels staying flat, purchasing power is decreasing among the common working class.

The demand for petrol is a big factor in what drives the price. The world knows we NEED petrol to operate, and this demand is what causes the price to increase. Petrol is an inelastic item, which means its demand will not change, or will change slightly, with the change of price. The more petrol increases, the more people will seek alternative driving methods. Each consumer has their limit for what they will pay per gallon to fill their tank.

As the economy the way it is now, we need prices to come down. The economy depends on the public, and if the public can not afford to fill their gas tanks, they will cut down on spending.
