Last year at this time, New Haven area drivers gassing up their cars for the long holiday weekend were paying an average of $3.23 a gallon for regular gas. This year, prices are 25 percent higher, with New Haven area pumps charging an average of $4.04 a gallon. Those prices, reported Wednesday by AAA on the same day crude oil broke through the $130-a-barrel threshold for the first time, mirror gas price trends throughout Connecticut and the nation.
The price of crude oil shot back up over $100 a barrel this week for the first time since spring, yet gasoline prices at the pump remained steady. It was an anomaly," said Duquesne University professor Kent Moors, who directs the university's Energy Policy Research Group.

OIL prices are slated to go up again ... how does this augur for those with interests in equities? WHAT'S UP with oil prices again?

Crude oil is the biggest component, and accounts for about 71% of the price of gasoline as of November 2010, based on an International Energy Agency (IEA) estimate.
