It's called market forces. Demand goes up, prices go up. Supply goes down, price goes up. And of course the inverse is true.
If people are so worried about the price about gasoline, they would support other energy sources so we don't have to depend on OPEC and outside countries for our source of oil.
They don't fix the price of gasoline, because that would be monopolistic, (and of course, our current administration is anti-monopoly) but I'm sure the major Gasoline companies don't mind when the price is higher. When it's higher, you can pad it a penny, and it seems like less than it would at 1.50 a gallon.
