+165 If you think about it, the news media has a lot of influence towards gas prices. Phase One: News media makes announcement that gas prices are going to rise and suggest that people go fill up before it does. Phase Two: People rush to the stations to buy gas. Phase Three: Demand rises, supply stays the same. Phase Four: Gas prices go up to lower the demand. Thanks, 5'clock news. Amirite?
