Oil and Gas Prices Climb; You Will Feel the Pinch

KWGS News

Crude oil prices hit a 3½-year high. The price of a barrel of oil has now topped $72. That is the highest since Thanksgiving on 2014.

Reimposed sanctions against Iran are being blamed, along with a summer driving season supply and demand.

As oil prices go up, so will the price you pay at the gasoline pump. Most Tulsa stations jumped prices about 14-cents a gallon overnight. Most stations are now charging $2.69 per gallon for regular unleaded.
