No End in Sight for Rising Fuel Prices! Want an Answer?

As Wausau's Jeff Foster stood at the pump beside his Chevy Suburban and watched the final bill climb ever upward and into triple digits, he had just one word for today's gasoline prices: frustrating.
Near-record prices for a gallon of regular unleaded gas are fueling the indignation of local residents such as Foster, who said he logs up to 1,000 miles each week as an orthodontist traveling between his company's offices in Medford, Stevens Point, Rhinelander and Wausau.
"It's frustrating because I don't see an end in sight," said Foster, 33, as he filled his tank in Rib Mountain.
This week, the cost of a gallon of regular gas climbed above $4 at many Wausau-area gas stations -- up 40 cents from one month ago, more than $1 higher than in 2010 and flirting with the record of $4.11 per gallon in 2008, according to the Automobile Association of America, or AAA.
The price for diesel fuel is even higher than that of regular unleaded, but the $4.15-per-gallon that Ralph Jackson paid at the Rib Mountain BP station is nearly 30 cents cheaper than he paid in New York two days ago. Even though he's budgeting more for fuel, hauling mostly frozen and fresh food from the East Coast to the Rockies, the $400-plus he paid for 100 gallons Friday still stung...

TAMPA - As the price at the pump continues to rise there's another necessity out there making customers cringe at the register.
"At the grocery store, especially poultry products, the eggs the milk, all of that has increased tremendously," said shopper Nancy Cooley.
Economists say food prices are up nearly seven percent.
Combine that with the high price at the pump and that means the combined costs of food and gas are eating up 15% of Americans total income. That's three percent higher than 2009 at the height of the recession.
Americans are certainly feeling the pinch.
"It's getting so bad that I had to go to work and right now I went for bankruptcy today," said Joanne Oshea of Spring Hill.
"I've noticed in the meat it's gone up extremely high," said Tom Frain of Clearwater.
Economists believe the rise in prices may signal another recession...
The prospect of that has economy weary Americans bracing for the worst.
"We don't know where things are going," said Frain.
