Oil closes at record high
Hate to be the bearer of bad news: SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) ? Crude-oil futures closed at an all-time high near $126 a barrel Friday, with strong demand for diesel fuel and concerns about global crude supplies prompting a weekly gain of over 8%. ?There is this overwhelming reluctance to admit that we?re simply in a new paradigm for prices and short of a wholesale collapse of the global economy, prices just aren?t going to pull back to a $75 level for oil,? said Neal Ryan, a manager at Rya


So I was talking with a friend who was thinking about where to buy, and they said they were planning on moving to the suburbs because they could get the same house for $100K less than where they were. I asked her how far she was from work now & she was about 6 miles. [...]

Make Your Nut Asks: How Much Do You Pay for a Full Tank of Gas?
Howdy, Internet People! I'm running a survey on Make Your Nut (www.makeyournut.com) to get an idea of what people are paying for gas. Take a look at the site, and follow the directions in the survey. It's pretty much what you drive, where you live, and what you pay. I'll post the results next week. Danke, DDL

Oil Shoots Higher
With little economic data on the schedule, the major economic story during the week was the continued rise in oil prices, which hit a new record high of $126 per barrel. Oil prices have nearly doubled since last summer. A major Wall Street investment bank issued a forecast this week that predicted a spike in oil prices to between $150 and $200 per barrel, possibly before the end of the year. The impact of rising oil prices on mortgage markets could be either positive or negative, depending on

From MSNBC: Oil rose above $126 a barrel for the first time Friday, bringing its advance this week to nearly $10, as investors questioned whether a possible confrontation between the U.S. and Venezuela could cut exports from the OPEC member. Gas prices, meanwhile, rose above an average $3.67 a gallon at the pump, following oil?s recent path higher. This is what pisses me off to no end.  Gas prices go up because there MIGHT be a confrontation between the U.S. and Venezuela?  What kind of fuck

Let?s talk about $126 oil (A new record! Wait, when will it stop?)
Let me cut to the chase. Here?s the headline I woke up to this morning: Matt Drudge?s affinity for large red headlines makes sure we can?t miss it: We broke a new record! Oh, great. As a result, the Dow Jones has tumbled about 130 points from this news and the news that insurance giant AIG posted a loss of 7.81 $BILLION. And you thought Fannie Mae was bad. Just as interesting, Exxon Mobile shares have dropped by over 1% in trading as of this post. High oil prices work in their favor, but no

Gas Prices and ANWR - Your Chance to Act
We're not just trying to get your attention! Make no mistake... the price you pay for gasoline at the pump may soon rise to over $4.00 a gallon! In fact, prices are already ABOVE $4.00 a gallon in some areas of the country! Did you know that gasoline costs 45 cents a gallon in Saudi Arabia, 35 cents in Iran, and less than a quarter in Venezuela? Question: Why does gasoline cost so little in these third-world countries and so much in the United States of America? Answer: Because Saudi Ara

Gas jumps above $3.67, oil passes $126

Gas Price Map is Noteworthy - and the Decline of Real Men
Gas Price Map is Noteworthy - and the Decline of Real Men May 9, 2008 by Lemur King GAS PRICES. How about them, eh? I?m not going to bitch about them. They are what they are. Go buy a smaller vehicle. Eat out less. Carpool. Take a bus. Anything. Quit bitching about it. I know they?re high, I pay the same prices. It?s largely driven by supply/demand, speculation on tomorrow?s prices for gas required to replace todays usage, and taxes. Do take a look at this map. Notice how the gas prices w

(My) First $4.00+ Gas Sighting?
I?ve been waiting for this moment, probably for too long; it arrived rather uncerimoniously as I passed the Chevron at 72nd Av. on SW 24th Street in the unincorporated neighborhood of Westchester. Now, I?ve seen diesel being sold at $4.25 or so for at least the last month, but until this morning, I had not seen gasoline selling at more than $4.00 per gallon. That all came to an end as I noted the price of self-service premium at $4.09. I, on the other hand, paid a paltry $3.859 per gallon fo

Gas Prices
I know this has been a big topic in blogging and the news lately but I just wanted to get my 2 cents worth in. These gas prices remind me of the 70's when my parents went through something of the same nature. I'm not sure if it was the price or what it was but I do remember a time in the 70's where there was a heightened alert on gas availability. I would have been under ten and I am sure that it didn't interest me that much at the time. These gas prices do have me worried. I don't know how any

Feeling Pain at the Pump? It Could Be Worse
Gas prices in Fremont, Calif. iStockphoto.com As the price of gas reaches record highs in this country ... compared to other places across the globe, paying $4 per gallon could be considered a privilege. CNNMoney has more: "Out of 155 countries surveyed, U.S. gas prices were the 45th cheapest, according to a recent study from AIRINC, a research firm that tracks cost of living data. The difference is staggering. As of late March, U.S. gas prices averaged $3.45 a gallon. That compares t

Denial
Photo By Marcio Jose Sanchez, AP Even with oil climbing above $125 a barrel and gas prices averaging $3.67 a gallon, 44% of Americans polled whether or not they think prices could reach $6 a gallon in the next five years, answered no. Some people are in denial in my opinion. Of course I could be wrong, but unless a rather large oil field is found and tapped within US territories,(ANWAR is only good for 5 years, not enough to make a huge dent in price) supplies are going to continue to dwindle,
