I understand why people feel this way, but I'm confident we're not going to see prices go over $3. It may not get that high. The recession has put demand for oil way down on a global level. They've done everything they could to get it this high. It'll be a stretch to get it much higher.

$2.69 over on this side. :cuss:

I agree.

When I call on Exxon and Conoco, it's all I can do to not kick them in the balls.

There must be a large contingency over there of alumni of the Oregon schools. Everyone knows they're suckers.

Hey, I have no problem welcoming them into my family.

$2.15 here.

Up 43 cents around here. Went from $1.69 to $1.89 slowly, then jumped 20 cents while I was inside walmart to $2.09. eased back to $2.01 for a couple of days before jumping 11 cents today. $2.12

Jumped 20 cents in 6 hours today. 2.39

Summer is here. Damn speculators.

:spock: Uh...what?


It's the Cartel of station owners here that control the prices. We are routinely 20 cents higher than Spokane. It isn't just because we are out in the sticks, because I have been in smaller towns even further away that are more in line with Spokane's prices. :#

LMAO I was totally ****ing with you dude. Did you forget who I am? Your favorite lowly Dawg fan. Well, 2nd favorite. Your boy is your 1st I'm sure. :D

Oh, I recognized it as smack. It just didn't make sense. :)

Also, it isn't Oregon refugees here; it's Californians on welfare. ;)

Interesting. There's some speculation (yes, intended) that the recent rally is not supported by the fundamentals. Demand is still low and supplies are still high, although the drop in supply this week was greater than expected.

yeah thanks to fires and refinery's running about 6 % under projected running capacity. working the system on both ends.

You think the refineries should be operating at 100%?

Crude nearing $64/barrel. National retail gasoline average is $2.46, up $0.40 since last month.
