Isn't that the truth.

I'm not short-sighted enough to wish for $1 gas, but I wish it would make up its mind and just stabilize. $2 gas seems reasonable to me, but the whiplash movements are getting old.

$28 to $30 is still my current target for oil this year before a longer term rebound, if that happens gas should get closer to a dollar.

As this Great Recession unfolds this year, I expect oil to fall. There will be lots of volatility of course.

We don't need $200 oil. With $44 oil at $2 per gallon, all we need is oil to be in the $80's to get $4.

Looks like the holiday hike is going back down down. Prices did spike I'll admit, in the DFW area we were roughly at 1.39 and spiked to 1.59, pretty bad actually.

Oil tumbles

COLUMBUS, Ohio ? Oil prices tumbled Wednesday as new government reports show crude inventories continuing to build, suggesting that demand for oil and gasoline will not rebound anytime soon.

Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell more than 4 percent, or $1.56 per barrel, to $36.22 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after trading as high as $39.45.



$200 is coming!

Running out of places to store all the excess oil.

1-15-2009 Crude prices tumble below $34

NEW YORK ? Oil prices tumbled below $34 Thursday, closing in on five-year lows as employment claims rose and OPEC cut demand expectations for 2009.

"The bull oil era is officially over," said Phil Flynn, an analyst at Alaron Trading Corp.

Light, sweet crude for February delivery fell more than 10 percent, or $3.87, to $33.41 a barrel Thursday on the New York Mercantile Exchange. At one point prices fell as low as $33.20.

There is so much crude building up in storage tanks, prices are falling because there are fewer places to put it.

Flynn said crude prices should jump as trading moves to the higher March contract because that crude does not have to be delivered for more than a month.

I can't find the seperate Gas thread that was created after my oil/gas thread was locked.

Gas prices continue to rise:

1-15-2009 Louisville gas prices higher

Gas prices in the Louisville area rose as high as $1.96 today, according to drivers posting prices at courier-journal.com/gas.

Prices were higher despite a fall in crude oil prices. Oil was trading for $33.84 per barrel, down $3.44, on the New York Mercantile Exchange at midday.

There is a lag between crude and gas prices. You've been told this before. Oil was up around $50 very recently so gasoline is following it up now due to the supply chain. With oil down now near its bottoms in the past few years again gasoline prices will continue to drop at the pump. This is obvious to everybody (almost). In fact, I was going to fill up today and thought I have a few more days of gas I know that it will be lower then than it is today (it will be).

Do you realize you paid $4 gallon when it was $145 barrel and now you're paying $2 when its $40 barrel. Does the math make sense? You are talking out of your ass on this.
