Every aspect of life affects this commodity as it flows. It could even stop flowing .. all things do come to an end. This is just more food for thought out there.

If something doesn't change very soon, the predictions for $5 per gallon by Labor Day will appear to be modest.

ravenna2GR Rookie Author Michigan Posts:36 Points:9,420 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2012 4:26:10 PM Ignore ravenna2GR Report Abuse Another $20 a barrel of oil price increase is reasonable. Another 80 cents on top of current gas prices is also to be expected. The simple reason is that our money is less valuable, so it buys less. Speculators are only responding to the underlying loss of value of currency. The longer the fed reserve keeps the interbank interest rates at o% the worse it will get. In 1980 after four years of Carter White house the gas price adjusted for inflation in today's money, was $3.48. Taking into account improvements in gas mileage, today the shock value is lower even with $4 gasoline. There are no gas lines. All things being equal $5.50 is probably the breaking point for 80% of households. If you are hurting now, it's the lack of good planing by buying inefficient vehicles in light of all evidence that suggests the price of fuel isn't going to come down.
notijeka Sophomore Author Oklahoma Posts:167 Points:1,543,420 Joined:Apr 2006	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2012 1:47:05 PM Ignore notijeka Report Abuse There will be no limit on the price per barrel because of the pure greed on the part of the oil traders. They could give a rip less about the end user of petroleum products. All that they are interested in is the amount of profit they can glean from each barrel of oil that they spec buy on the commodities market. We are at their mercy.

cashpayer Sophomore Author Raleigh Posts:147 Points:81,395 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Mar 17, 2012 9:39:49 AM Ignore cashpayer Report Abuse Depends largely on the Middle East. If Israel attacks Iran soon Iran would probably retaliate against us and oil shipments would be held up. But keep in mind the price of crude doesn't necessarily relate directly to gas prices. Last I heard we we under $107 per barrel, and a couple of years ago we hit about $130 per barrel, but the price of gas was much lower then than it is now. What we pay for gas bears more directly on the greed of the big oil companies and the greed of the dam* speculators.

MaryKayByBJ Sophomore Author Orange County Posts:167 Points:62,565 Joined:Mar 2010	Message Posted: Mar 16, 2012 11:25:57 PM Ignore MaryKayByBJ Report Abuse The price of crude is a global issue and I would be incredibly egocentric to believe that anything the USA does in regards to drilling, etc. would effect it. The economics of easily transportable goods is world-wide. There is not any such thing as being able to control prices by merely increasing our production. That argument ignores the increased demand for oil by other countries, such as China and India. It also ignores the effect of saber-rattling on all things from the Middle East. True ND's unemployment rate is down to 3.2% - however, one should recall that percentage changes for small populations are greatly altered by very small changes in raw numbers. The ENTIRE STATE has less than 684,000 people (US Census). That is less than a medium sized CITY!!
