Today, gas prices in Norway made a jump to its highest price ever in
history, and where the price currently is approx. NOK 12.50 per litre
that equal approx. $7.70 per US gallon.....

The reason for this jump in gas prices is the current situation in the
Mexico Gulf area that severely has affected oil prices world wide, and
the longer the situation in the area continues, gas prices is expected
to become even higher.....

Located just about 70°N 30°E - Almost at the top of the world!

I would have thought that the price would drop for world oil but gas prices
here would increase.

Since we can't import oil to the port in Louisiana that should mean lower
demand for oil on the world market since we can't import oil for our demand.

I don't think it really matters. The big oil companies will use any
flimsy excuse to gouge us now. Here gas went up to $1.29 per
liter...and this is for gas still in the station underground tanks...
This would be for oil bought & refined months ago.
The gov't won't do anything.
