Q-What makes U.S. gas prices rise and fall? Gas is a product made from
oil. More than half of the oil used in the U.S. is imported from other
countries. Many of these countries, however, have recently experienced
decreases in oil production. When oil production is reduced, there is less oil
available to buy. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) sets
the price of oil for its member countries as well as how much oil any one
country can produce, which often determines the price at which other oil
producing countries will sell oil. When OPEC meets, they will discuss oil
production and prices. Citizens in the U.S. hope the outcome of such meetings
will lead to a decrease in oil prices and an increase in production.
