News: Oil hits $100 per barrel

http://money.cnn.com/2008/01/02/mark...ion=2008010212
Quote:
Violence in Nigeria, supply disruption in Mexico and the prospect of another drop in U.S. inventories and more rate cuts drive crude past the triple-digit mark

...

Analysts are expecting the latest government inventory report - set for release Thursday, to show a 1.8 million barrel decline in crude supplies, according to a Dow Jones poll. It would mark the seventh straight week U.S. crude stocks have dropped.

Wait, you mean to tell me that the price won't ever go back to 25 cents a gallon? Oh well, bring it on, I'm about as ready as can be.

the NYT article made it sound as if it was the work of a lone stock trader. As if we shouldn't be too worried about oil prices. These prices are just the work of some trader trying to be a showoff.

Hrmph.

I'll be waiting with baited breath to see how the try to soothe the masses when gas hits $3.50 nationally here in a few months.

yep, as soon as these lower prices hit the pumps the SUV's and crazy speeders will return in full force.. well maybee they will realizes there errors of there ways.. but doubtful.. If gas tumbles to $3.25 -$3.50 a gallon it return to what it was..
