Analyst on why gas prices are so high

8. Too few workers and not being able to replace broken parts......

Probably true. An oil company C.E.O. would raise production now to take advantage of the high price of oil if it were possible. Rather than wait for the price to drop and make less money per barrel. This was a scenario with O.P.E.C. Member nations would agree to tamp down production. Prices would rise. One or two members would break the agreement.

or maybe they are waiting for further increases in the price.
