For what possible reason are gasoline prices constantly rising?!?

Why is that? I don't know about the rest of the world but in Europe gasoline is getting more expensive in a faster rate then what you could blame on inflation ... or the decrease of fossil fuel.

    Well, the population of China and India are getting wealthier. MAny of them can afford vehicles. In fact, there's a statistic that says 1,000,000 new cars are sold every month in India. The cars are cheap but they still run on gas. Thus, they want to buy from the same sources that the western countries are buying from. From there, it's the law of supply and Demand.
