Some attribute the soaring gas prices on the problems in Libya. Rebellion there impacted oil fields, putting a stop to the country’s daily exports of 1.5 million barrels of crude, and leading oil speculators to push up the price.
Simultaneously, refineries in the U.S. were switching to their summer blend, which also increases the cost.
Experts said the average cost of gas could exceed 2008′s all-time record of $4.11 a gallon.
A new world for us is coming
Wait a few months these are the good old days.
Everything depends on the price of gas and oil and so the prices of everything will soon be going through the roof.
People will be doing less of everything less driving and less eating welcome to the world of third world countries.
