An American worker was killed there the other day. The troubles in Nigeria is one of the reasons oil is spiking again.

Local regular gas went from $2.80 to $3.00 yesterday and I have no idea what the reasoning was behind that move. Can't wait to see what this does to it!

True. But an oil pipeline with a bomb under it might. Just speculating at this point.

With 200 casualties? No way. More likely one of those periodic siphoning accidents.

Because someone felt like it. They dont need a real excuse. Expect gas prices to shoot up at least a quarter, if not thrity cents... Gas is in REAL tight supply, you know /sarc.
