Posted by: heatingoilThe rapid increase in price of oil caused a sudden rise in gasoline price. Experts say that they could reach $4 in US. It is seen that cost of oil has increased to $100.88 per barrel.
The increased cost could raise the economic troubles in US which in turn impacts the global economy. Kenneth Rogoff, an economist of Harvard University said that the effects of prices can differentiate the situation of having and not having a recession.
With the release of figures of prices at produces level the depth of the economic problems of US is very clear. The prices at production level have increased 1% within a month. From the reports seen, gasoline was sold at a rate of $2.35 per gallon last year.

Energy specialists are expecting that the cost may hit the last year’s record of $3.23 per gallon, as the demand for it increases during summer and spring. On the other hand the oil price has recorded to $3.6 per gallon compared with $ 2.62 per gallon last year. The main reason viewed for the rise in energy prices is due to the demand across the world.
