    China Cuts Gas Subsidies - Oil Price Down

    China's going to cut the fuel subsidies that have insulated the Middle Kingdom from rising gas prices and will increase retail gasoline and diesel prices by 1,000 yuan ($145.31, ?93.89) a ton starting Friday. Dow Jones Newswires reported the news citing a Reuters story.

    Oil is down about 2% today. Still a ways to go but it is going down (for now).

      That equates to about a $0.50 (€0.33) price hike per gallon. Pretty stiff.

          This may not necessarily be a good thing for the economy...The price increase will just be passed on elsewhere.
