Are we able to justify the jump of fuel.? Is it because winter is coming? Are we selling crude oil to other countries rather than refining it here.? Has there been a shutdown of oil rigs? There are a few old gas guzzling cars around but for the most part, I see newer cars using less fuel. Maybe gas went up in anticipation of Thanksgiving travelers.
