COST OF FUEL

"... last November... Pakistani officials slammed that country’s border crossings shut on American and NATO war supplies. Those crossings have yet to reopen... there were brief reports indicating that the costs of shipping some items had gone up by a factor of six, depending on the route chosen. Back in 2009, it was estimated that a gallon of fuel cost $400 or more by the time it reached the U.S. military in Afghanistan, and that was by the cheaper Pakistani route. How much is it now? $600, $800, $2,400?"
