anita vogel covering that and jeff flock on the road. keeping track of what is happening at the pump. we'll go to them momentarily. first, anita vogel on this great rush that is on and a record number of americans, at least records post pandemic, getting on to it as well. anita? >> hi, neil. the skies are expected to be very crowded this holiday weekend. we're not just talking about with roman candles and other kinds of fireworks. according to the industry experts that track these figures, air travel is already at 85% of precovid capacity. more than 3.5 million people will travel by planes in the coming days. travelers are being asked to pack patience. here's why. the whole system are rusty when it comes to the rush of travel. rental car companies are short on cars. airports are very short staffed. the tsa is offering $1,000 bonuses to try to hire extra workers at least 6,000. they're also asking for volunteers. they say at least 130 airports around the country are going to be super short-staffed. you know what that means. long lines at

jeff flock is live in romeoville, illinois. hello, jeff. >> trace, hello to you.refinery out here. one of the nation's refineries that is cranking here. this is citgo in chicago. trying to keep up with the demand and high oil prices are over $74 a bail for oil today. put that together, addition some issues with the refineries being able to turn out enough gas, you have high prices. our oil guru at fox says it's not going to get better any time soon. >> the u.s. gasoline inventories are the tightest that they have been since the beginning of the pandemic. that means higher prices. >> you know, usually works when you get over $70 a barrel for oil, the producers really ramp it up. take a look at the numbers on u.s. shale producers that have been behind making the u.s. oil independent. they typically pump nine million barrels per day. right now we're well below that. they can't seem to get the investment to increase -- the investment that they need to drill more wells and get more oil out of the ground. i'll leave you with another piece of interesting information that

well good luck getting one because they're in big demand too, and short supply, jeff flock following d friend lauren and shortage of cars, at least you can get a car if you want one and pools and hot tubs, by the way too, is a beauty right there, but there's typically this whole place is packed with hot tubs. you can't even, it's a couple there you can get. pool equipment is short, as well neil that's a pool filter, if you got a pool maybe you know what these things look like it's a pool heater there shortage of those , pool pump, you can get them, but a, the prices are higher and b, you sometimes can't even get what you want, right? there's a lot of constraints on the equipment that we're receiving as well. reporter: if i come to you today and say i want a pool for neil cavuto, he wants to put a pool in his mansion, when does he get it? even if he's got a pile of money >> right now, spring of next year is when you'd get it. reporter: nothing until spring of next year. >> nothing until spring. we used to be able to get them in towards the fall but right now we're that backed up. repor

thank you, my friend, jeff flock just got to be like jeff.ack in the planes right now but what complicates things going forward is not unruly behavior but maybe higher ticket prices that usually goes hand in hand with demand and usually a run-up in energy prices, jet fuel prices, gasoline, you've heard the whole drill. today's come down from our highs , our six-year highs notwithstanding, which is still pricey for a barrel of oil at north of $73. let's go to erin gibbs, frances newton stacy, and francis, this run-up in prices has been particularly acute in some of the favorite things americans like to do like getting airplane tickets and all of the travel, and all of that and i would imagine these developments on the energy front are going to make that even more expensive what do you see? >> so it's true. a lot of this of course is the opec, you know, opec and opec plus and the united arab emirate and saudi arabia didn't reach a deal on increasing production for those oil pressures, the pricing pressures , the inflationary pressures and of co

jeff flock in illinois with more on that. >> reporter: that is the scary part. suburban chicago. they are cranking again because demand is up but so is the price of a barrel of oil. the latest numbers up today big time. we got above $75, $76, it came down a little bit, headed back up again. because of that largely and increased demand gas prices at $3.14, only a penny in the last week but $0.07 more than it was a month ago and a dollar more than a year ago. when we get gas prices high but oil prices high, take a look at where we are now, they've gone up compared to last year, 376 working oil rigs according to baker hughes. more than it was in the midst of the pandemic but nowhere near pre-pandemic levels. some people are concerned lack of exploration is a problem. those people include phil flynn. >> one of my biggest concerns for the global economy going forward is we are trying to transition off of fossil fuels too quickly without having an alternative in place and because of that that will leave us undersupplied in the next couple years. >> bp, british petrole
