Fear of Iran is inflating gas prices
New York (CNNMoney) - Tensions with Iran are adding at least 30 cents to a gallon of gasoline in the United States, and experts say gas prices have only just begun to rise.
Gasoline prices have surged over 10% in the last two months, largely tracking the runup in oil prices, which have increased by a similar amount and are now at a 9-month high.
FULL STORY
oh don't worry the Republicans will just blame Obama for it. They've already started in fact. Just a few months ago in Texas I saw gas under 3 dollars a gallon many places BUT I don't recall any Republican giving Obama credit when the gas prices went down. Then you read the even MORE ridiculous statements that Obama PLANNED all of this so more people will buy electric cars. Yeah right. In an election year the president wants gas prices to skyrocket which would possibly cause a slow down in the recovery and hurt his chances of being reelected. Now that you think of it maybe the GOP is behind the gas prices.
My advise, do not drive, and conserve Energy. If you have to go, make a list, and go once and come back home, or apartment, enjoy a nice James Bond movie, with nice coffee. This way we can save, and conserve Oil, and hit OPEC. When we do not use their Oil, Consumption reduces, Oil prices fall. Till we see less prices on Energy-Efficiency Cars, and Hybrid Cars, and Fuel-Cell-Cars, we do this. I am doing the same, before telling you all. Do these tips. God bless.
It's called fearmongering. I'm surprised you yanks still haven't learned from the past 30+ times this happened...
