Gas Prices Soon to Rise

News Channel 3 in the Hampton Roads is reporting:

Gas prices are going up, because of new terrorist attacks in Nigeria:

"The country is the top crude-oil producer in Africa. The attacks have sent crude oil prices higher in international markets. April Brent crude futures rose a dollar and a-half in London. "

We can expect the prices to be reflected at the pump soon. Nine hostages have also been taken including 3 Americans.

But will the Nigerian situation effect gas prices as terribly as the Mideast situations do???

Thank you for the comment.

The impact should be fairly immediate, when I read the story the first thing I did was fill my car, being the skin flint that I am.

It may just be a temporary surge but I try to keep abreast of the prices and I act when I see an increase coming.

>>>>>Can the oil businesses teach all of us this form of business, its great.<<<<<

Oh it is an easy business model to learn.

Step 1 - Reconnaissance: Scout out where the people have something you want to obtain, in this case, money.

Step 2 - Steal it. No really, it is that simple. Sure they buy the gas for say...$50 a barrel but then they sell it to us for $75.

Step 3 - Cry for help from the gov't..and get it. Thus you improve your profits all the more.

Very simple.
