Katrina's impact felt in El Salvador

Hurricane Katrina's damage to the oil industry is having a serious
impact on gasoline prices in El Salvador. Prices are rising by 70
cents per gallon in the country. Such a cost increase will again
create pressure by the owners of bus companies to raise fares. A
significant percentage of Salvadorans rely on the buses for their
transportation, and attempted fare increases at the beginning of July
led to violent protests.
