Walmart's prospects are none to good with the the cost of oil skyrocketing due to the unrest in the Middle East (not to mention the rampant inflation causing cost hikes with their number one manufacturer: China).  For those of you who need to fill-up the gas tank, check out GasBuddy. 

Just how high can oil go?  Well, with Iranian Ships rumored to be transporting long range missiles to Hizballah, who can tell.
