Thanks JET. I watch the price of oil probably more than anyone i know. Being in the banking business, it makes me a smart consumer. At the bank we are seeing more NSF(Insufficient Funds) more than usual so it is already hurting us the consumer. This really pisses me off. Back in October of last year oil hit a record high of $55/ barrel. Then it went down to low $40's and gas settled to $1.77/87 oct. where i'm at, in which i can deal with that price and maybe even a dime more. Now after Xmas it shoots up again to a new record high last week. Raising the price doesn't necessarily make us use less so somebody is lining their prockets awfully good right now. They better step in and do something soon. I hear nothing of decreases in the near future. As a matter of fact i just watched CNN at noon and Algeria is talking about a possilbe oil worker strike because of unfair labor conditions or something. Even if you drive a short distance to work, this still affects you more than you think.
