I have to admit my current events blogs are the hardest to keep up. The reason being, it's not like you can schedule a certain news event to happen right now at a certain place in time. I have had a lot of visitors on this blog though, so its a shame I probably let them down at times. I will do better, I promise!
For now, here are some stories I collected from around the web (link leads to Caught My Eye blog):

What if gas price increases are unnecessary? (And we think they are!)
Some information in this post made me wonder. What if gas prices have risen unnecessarily? What if they amount we have to pay is really way more than we should-way above the amount of inflating crude oil prices?
An example of what I mean is found on the page provided at the link below (more info provided below link):
More Comments From Me:
When I hear phrases such as "light sweet crude for delivery in November, added 93 cents to $83.91 a barrel" or "Brent North Sea crude for November delivery gained 53 cents to $106.41 [a barrel] it makes me not panic so much. As you can see the amount of increase on the $83 barrel is only about a penny per dollar or a little over 1% (figured .93 divided by $83.91 = .011 or 1.10 cents, or 1.1% )
The 53-cent increase on the $106.41 barrel figures out to only a less than a half of a cent per dollar. (It would be .00498 cents to be exact).
