Crude Oil May Rise Again as Opec Watchful
Crude oil prices, up 42 percent this year, could rise further as foreign producers oppose the dollar slide and OPEC’s June price setting. Analysts say a September special meeting is possible but not guaranteed, which might lift gasoline and heating oil by a penny or two. The June base price jumped from 14.55 to 18 dollars with a 23.50 ceiling.

Gas shortage not lowering auto insurance claims says industry
A Texas Insurance Board hearing heard that gasoline shortages would not reduce auto claims. J M Eddins of Maryland Casualty noted rising repair costs and higher bodily injury risks with subcompact cars. Carpooling could cut collision costs, though data is limited, and a new insurance class for frequent carpools was proposed. Texans who drive to work pay more for collision and liability coverage than non commuters.
