The cost of the crude oil is the reason gasoline, diesel, etc is so high.

I don't think crude has gone up that much; its that our Dollar is so damn weak that we are "paying" more.

You are correct. The Obama/Bernanke devalued dollar plays a major part in the rising cost of oil purchases as those purchases are made in the devalued U.S. dollars.
