It's the futures traders that have driving oil up over $111/bbl unfortunately.
Despite the unrest in the middle east and Africa, Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations upped production to make up for any lost in the troubled areas.
Lybia's oil didn't even come to the US.
Traders are just using this as their excuse to force prices higher.
Can't even blame Exxon/Mobil or BP for the rise.
That said, the 12' aluminum V-hull I bought my wife for her birthday last year only used about 8-9 gallons all summer, and we fished a ton!
