Gas Prices are affected by the realtion that the US has with Iran. If there is tension between the two countries the gas prices can rise up to 50 cent a gallon. The US, China, and India are the biggest consumers of Iran oil. A small raise in gas would ruin the Nations economic recovery. It would also cause big problems for Obama. Other countries have tries to santion this, but Iran had threatened to cut them off. I for one do not agree with what Iran is doing. They are mixing business with Politics and blackmailing the U.S. to be nive to them. This is wrong and they should be in this much control because they have a crucial resource to the world. This also shows that if getting gas is going to be difficult and possibly ruin our economy we should try to find a better more greener rescouce. Such as, wind turbines, and water dams.
