The government said the move, which resulted from an agreement with the rebels, ended the country's oil crisis. Rebels originally seized four terminals as they demanded more regional autonomy. The two other ports were returned to the government in April. The country's exports have been badly hit by the oil blockade. "Today we regained control of the ports at Ras Lanuf and Sidra," Libya's acting Prime Minister Abdullah al-Thani said at a joint news conference with rebel leader Ibrahim Jathran. "We have successfully reached an agreement to solve the oil crisis," he added. Mr Jathran confirmed the deal, describing it as a goodwill gesture.[/quote]

But at my current wage and the fact I drive for a living atm, I would kill for $3.70 a gallon instead of the equivalent $7-8 im paying.
