someone said bomb Iran,and boo! wall street went nut's.If we all say that tommorow we will all drive 80mph for 100 miles,the price would spike on spectulation.

I still have not found anyone who can explain to me how the future oil price for July is applied to gasoline already in the ground at the stations and yet they RAISE THE PRICE based on what they are going to get two months from now.

"There is no prohibition on developing shale oil". Just what exactly do you consider prohibition:

1. a House of Representatives panel imposed the moratorium on new oil shale rules late last year; the new rules that were proposed, were to allow it.

2. A Senate committee, two weeks ago voted against extracting oil from shale in Colorado.

That may not be what you call prohibition, but it certainly sounds like a form of it to me. :S

I think someone is a little lost here. There is no prohibition on developing shale oil. The problem right now is the cost to do so. And there is no place in the US to refine any more oil. There are two refineries being built in the near future but its five years to build them. The first in 30+ years. There is also a company already getting oil out of shale in Utah but he is not doing anything large because he has not place to send it to get refined.

Well I went to band practice tonight and a station that was 3.89 went to 4.05 in two hours.Boy it did`t take that high priced oil long to get here.

Also fords dealers better idea.If you buy a pick up they will give you a motor scooter free.The spill is if you ride the scooter around town and use the pick up for longer trips you can average 43 mile per gallon of gas.I guess that is if you drive the truck 120 miles a year and the scooter 12000 your mileage may very as they say.

The increase in demand from those countries is fairly steady. It can in NO WAY explain the current dramatic increase.

I only read about ten pages of this silly thread, but I did not see any mention of the real reason for the oil price increase.

We are at the end of the oil age. In the future we will be driving small electric cars that we recharge at night from power generated from nuclear energy. The Europeans have been doing this for decades. They invested in high density residential development and high speed trains. We just didn't listen the last time in the '70s.
I think that we will listen when fuel hits $ 10 per gallon......

Whoops, just announced that oil went up $11 a barrel today to $139.xx. Now they're saying $150 a barrel by July 4th. Cheeze, the talking heads keep mentioning increases and by golly, there are increases to the mentioned level. Well, our garden is planted and there are lots of deer roaming our woods. :B
