Stay low for the next few months, it's my turn to drive for carpooling! Which means going about 70-75 mph since we have an 1.25 hours to cover 75 miles, and other work keeps us up late into the night.

I think it'll stagnate till mid March, and then it'll take off.

Barring any political/natural disaster/terrorism incidents in oil producing countries, I think you're probably right, Tas.

I kind of like being able to keep up on the discussions going on here. When oil's at $100 again, EcoModder will be too busy!

The other day on the radio, they were saying that the oil companies would keep gasoline prices low and take the hit. I wish I could remember the reason. I want to say that they were afraid if they raised gas prices, people might look into cheap natural gas. But that can't be it. Probably just the weak economy. Dang.

Consequently, this is great for ad revenue. You might even make enough to build another Forken-Mobile!

...greed, like latrine chunky's "...rise to the top."

...if $100 is good, then $101 is better and $102 is ever MORE better, etc.

...the newly-emerging 3rd-world countries are outbidding and driving UP prices everywhere.
