Gas prices are very high in America now. A war with Iran is the main reason. The average price is more than $4per gallon. In California, people pay almost $6. Some gas stations in Los Angeles charge $8. Amazon now asks sellers to pay 3.5% more for fuel costs.
An energy group says this is the biggest oil problem ever. Gas station owners do not make more money. The price of oil changes very fast. They can not change their prices fast enough.
Americans try to save money on fuel. Some people drive motorcycles to work. Some use electric cars. One worker rolls his car downhill to save gas. Experts say 30% to 40% of online sellers will raise prices. Everyday products will cost more soon.
