Crude oil is also a finite non-renewable resource. Not many Dinosaurs left to get Dino Juice out of! It is getting harder and harder (read more expensive) to extract it from the earth so it costs more. Adding to that is the ever increasing burden of regulation and taxation.

The hard fact is gasoline (and all hydrocarbon based energy) is going to get more and more expensive.
