These rising costs at the pump are a direct result of the jump in global oil prices. Brent crude oil briefly surged above $100 per barrel this week for the first time in two months, after a reported attack on at least two tankers transiting the Red Sea. U.S. crude oil has surged too, rising as high as $92 per barrel this week.
