\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat people are saying about gas prices<\/p>\n

The price for crude oil in the United States rose above $90 per barrel on Friday, for the first time in more than two years.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhat is driving up the price of gas?\u00a0<\/p>\n

The attacks on Iran are restricting travel, and boats will not be able to pass through the Iranian-controlled Strait
\nof Hormuz. About 20% of the world’s oil is shipped
\nthrough that strait, according to\u00a0the U.S. Energy Information Administration.<\/p>\n

“That uncertainty is what’s driving oil
\nprices up,” Patrick DeHaan, of Gas Buddy said. “The known would reduce oil prices — if there becomes clarity — but
\nit\u2019s the unknown that is stoking fears and oil prices.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As the United States and Israel bombard in an attempt to neutralize that nation’s military power, the rise…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":326901,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[68311,114,2096,30422,85,87,46,161620],"class_list":["post-326900","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-5-on-your-side","tag-business","tag-consumer","tag-gas-prices","tag-il","tag-iran","tag-israel","tag-wral-specialists"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326900","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=326900"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/326900\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/326901"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=326900"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=326900"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=326900"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
