HOW MUCH WILL YOU PAY IN THE COMING OIL PRICE SPIKE?

       As we have reported on earlier occasions, the price of oil is driven by the amount of oil various Middle East nations put on the market. Saudi Arabia is the single largest supplier of oil to the United States. To move up the price of oil, it has only to restrict supply. Now Iran has introduced a new wrinkle: it has threatened to restrict supply by closing off shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf, which it regards as its territory, so that the oil cannot get to market. The impact is the same: the price of oil gets a big boost. Even on Iran's threat of closing off the shipping lanes, the speculators have taken their cue to drive prices upward. The crisis is already shaping up as the European Union has vowed to impose sanctions on January 30, and Iran has already warned the U.S. keep the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Stennis away from its shores. If the sanctions come in play, and the Iranian people start to suffer, the present regime will do anything to stay in power. That means another crisis resulting in another cruel price spike. This week, the speculators have their sights at $250 per barrel of crude oil. For you, the propane consumer, that translates into fuel that may cost $6.00 per gallon. What can you do?
