What is going on with the price of gasoline? It costs me over a $100 now to fill my truck. When will this energy inflation stop?
<|assistant|>
The cost of gasoline has seen sharp increases in recent months, primarily due to rising crude oil prices, tight global supply, and the effects of global economic and political factors. Analysts have cited forecasts that indicate these conditions could continue over the short- to medium term. Until then, motorists can likely expect to see higher pump prices and continued energy inflation.
