Gas prices... yet again

Everyone is complaining about gas prices, but compared to the world we still have relatively low gas prices. I always tell everyone whom are complaining about gas prices, that around the world it is or was significantly higher. Here in America, as prices rise, we're slowly yet steadly approaching the world norm for gas prices. I came across an article on CNN which explains why and how we've enjoyed such low prices for so long.
