Shocks from the crises in Egypt and Libya are being felt halfway around the world as gas prices rise above three dollars this week.

According to WorldCity analysis of annual U.S. Census data from the end of February of this year, Libya accounts for only 0.63 percent of United States oil. 

However, any fluctuation in the market sends prices soaring.

Gasprices.com reports that as of Mar. 1 the average Missouri driver is coughing up $3.20 per gallon.

For junior Lynzee Edwards, the increase has made little impact on her personal budget.

Although she drives to St. Charles every day for dance and fills up her tank once a week, “my parents pay for gas so it doesn’t affect me.”

Senior Kayla Yoder, however, is feeling the burn of filling up her tank.

“My last fill-up was $60. I fill up about once a week,” she said.

“I drive to work every day, so I can’t avoid it,” senior Aaron Platts said.

Yoder is also resigned to paying the higher prices.

“I don’t have a plan for avoiding the increase,” she said. “I just pay it, and it sucks.”
