How high do you think it'll go this year?

Oil prices hit record high, then fall - Oil & Energy - MSNBC.com

For me it is a catch 22, I work for an oil company so I want oil high for my share prices but I also have to put up with high fuel prices, housing and everything else that goes along with it.

hummm in my area its already 3.19 a gallon, I'm going to say I think we'll see as high as 3.35 this year here unless something like katrina happens again, then well over 3.35 I love these high prices, everyone is bailing on the cage and buying bikes, scooters, etc. I love it. Hell I just bought a truck and everyone at work was laughing at me...... Now they are curious how many miles my bike gets because they see it all the time and NOT my truck which sits at home. A tank of gas in the truck lasts me a month and I work with guys that fill their's up 1-2 times a week! YIKES, I can't imagine spending 180 in gas a week!...hahahah.

After last year, anything stronger than a fart in a Gulf of Mexico is going to make everyone panic.

Shut your piehole, go use your discount card and fill up the H2.

I sold the H2 and bought a Prius.

Linus · 07-10-2006, 11:14 AM

My best guess is 3.50 average for regular by mid summer-and 6 month waiting lists for Prius' and Hybrid Camrys'.

Only in reverse, with a running start from the other side of the street.

That's all you could come up with? Are you awake yet?

That thing would die before it made it across the street at full throttle unless all the recall work has been performed.

I could probably get bigger than 40s on there with 18" of lift. Hmmm...

It was more of an issue of environmental responsibility for me.

We will see over $4.00 on the signs by the end of the year. Add a dollar for 2007.

I've noticed an increased interest in people making their own alcohol stills to convert garbage and bad grain. Its going to be the oil version of exploding meth labs.

Very true.

However, though I'm not "in the know" about such matters, I wonder how much overall capacity would really be hit? I just read an article that a large number of rigs in the Gulf of Mexico are being overbid by other markets such as the Persian Gulf, and heading out.

$5.00/gal in 07? Nope...don't believe it. My bet is by then prices will have declined a bit from current, or held steady (which with inflation is a drop in itself).

I think it will depend. If the Dems. take over the house and Senate then oil prices will fall. If the Reps. keep the house and senate then prices will continually go up.

Funny, I thought it had more to do with demand in China and the potential of supply disruptions from Iran.....
