Welcome to the Know the Difference Minute for Wednesday, October 5th.

International brent crude was near 93 this afternoon while West Texas crude was over $87. Some insiders believe oil will hover between 90 and $100 a barrel.
Patrick DeHaan runs GasBuddy.com. In a tweet earlier today, he estimated prices rising between 15 and 30 cents more per gallon. Recent refinery issues along with maintenance have already pushed up prices in the Midwest. But there’s more to come.
