You can blame oil companies (and you should) but I also would like to say FUCK OUR GOVERNMENT for allowing this to happen. Airlines are going bankrupt and blaming fuel prices, the govt. is hedging fuel for some of the carriers, oil companies are getting tax breaks... meanwhile gas prices are way up and profits are too... and they are blaming hurricanes???
In the end I'm glad prices are up... maybe people will be more willing to try public transportation, buy more fuel efficient vehicles and be more conscious of what they're doing!
