Gasoline is more expensive because demand exceeds supply. Increasing supply is difficult because environmental regulations prevent new refineries and expansion of existing refineries. I blame people who drive hummers.

Demand exceeds supply in terms of crude oil, or in terms of refined fuel? ETA do price changes seem driven more by changes in capacity (affected when/if a refinery goes offline temporarily) or by changes in the price of crude oil?
Of course, you may be an oil company shill.
