Answer continued:

The main reason why gas is so expensive is a result of the great demand of crude oil. Over the past few years, a growing global economy has demanded more industrial resources (oil) in growing industrial markets such as China. This has sent global demand for crude oil skyrocketing. Overall, this has made oil a lot harder to get and therefore more expensive.(source6).
