energy experts say it is the fear factor as sidney mentioned because of the revolt in libya world oil traders are afraid that oil supplies will dry up. might sound like an excuse when you consider that libya only produces 2% of the world's oil supply but fears a strong pull. oil companies and traders are trying to pad their pockets in case the revolt in libya spreads to other opec countries like saudi arabia or iran that the u.s. does rely on. drives are caught in the middle. >> very high. i live in texas. it's just past the $3 mark. >> very, very expensive. i commute a lot in this truck. it's starting to take a toll. >> reporter: some drivers are thinking of driving more fuel- efficient vehicles even motorcycles. and we talk about this every time we see gas prices going up. some experts are warning, this time, it could be very serious and it could jump very quickly especially again if any of these revolts spread to saudi arabia or iran. it could also spread to the airline industry. keep that in mind. they have those fuel surcharges that we have all been seeing. so hopefully we went h
