Gas Buddy says oil prices remain stubbornly strong touching $80 per barrel last week, pushing gas prices higher in the U.S. They say unrest in Kazakhstan, the 18th largest oil producer, is likely leading to impacts on oil production. Also, continued unrest in Libya also worries markets and is overpowering the seasonal drop in gasoline demand.
