If you feel like you’re paying more to fill up this week, you aren’t imagining it. The conflict in the Middle East has officially hit the "Oil Phase," and the numbers coming off the ticker are starting to look like a crisis. Here is the breakdown of why gas prices are spiking and what the world is doing to stop the bleeding. 1. The $100 Barrier has Shattered For the first time in over three years, oil prices have officially surged past $100 per barrel . At the peak of the panic this week, Brent crude hit nearly $120 , driven by one simple fear: the total closure of the Strait of Hormuz.
