Hi Becky!
The short answer is: ¿Crees que el gas aumentE esta semana? ---> is asking an opinion ¿Crees que el gas aumentA esta semana? --->(not very common) it has a tweak from subjunctive -default case- to indicative in order to add a nuance. ¿No crees que SEA tarde para salir? ---> is asking an opinion (it may be regarded as information) ¿No crees que ES tarde para salir?---> again, it has a tweak from subjunctive -default case- to indicative in order to add a nuance. Nuances: [not requiring other context/ managed with intonation and look] ¿No crees que ES tarde para salir? ---> what's your opinion? -but you should know I think it is- ¿No crees que ES tarde para salir? ---> what's your opinion? -but you should know I expect you to answer affirmatively- ¿No crees que ES tarde para salir? ---> what's your opinion? -but you should know I'm afraid you're gonna answer affirmatively- [generally requiring context] ¿Crees que el gas aumentA esta semana? ---> do you have such erroneous piece of information? ¿Crees que el gas aumentA esta semana? ---> would you bet that? ¿Crees que el gas aumentA esta semana? ---> I trust you and I'll do as if what you reply is true - what you say settles it or dispels any doubt, in my opinion.

,but pensar que does not take the subjunctive. (a puzzlement for anglo students)
As and English speaker, I don't see a big difference between pensar and creer, but among native Spanish speakers there is.
