Which sentence is best expressed?

Option B is the best expressed sentence because it uses "because" to show a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the gas prices and the suggestion to form a carpool. Option A uses "being as," which is nonstandard English, and Option C uses "being that," which is also nonstandard and unnecessary.
