Just turned on Fox business news to check stock prices and see that today the price of crude is up $5.00 a barrel. Now a bit over $80.00 a barrel again. Here we go again, just in time for summer.

@catter70 Saudi Arabia is causing the rise in price. They cut their production to affect the price.

Yes it's definitely their fault for causing us to stop producing it here.

 

Soooo much more enviromentally friendly to get it from Saudi.

This happens every year nearing May 30. Always a different reason but always does. You can count on it.

@kaydee50   I do need a car but gasoline is a tiny part of my budget so that increase is minor.  

 

The real cost for someone like me that increased gas affects is what it does to prices of all kinds of other products and services.
