It is called devaluation of the American Dollar and since oil is traded for $$ the price of oil goes up and so it goes gas at the pump to car tanks.
I drive a 9 year old Honda that gets good gas mileage and drive 4.5 miles daily.
So, maybe we can thank thoses that drive SUVs, RVs, PU Trucks, and drive go fast boats at the local lakes that eat gas up.
Or, how about those who live in the country for the living and drive 60-100 miles daily to and from work?
We aint seen nothing yet!
