      From post#856, this thread, on July 9, 2008:
      Getting back to gas prices - I'll make a prediction:
      Just before the November 2008 election oil will be selling for under $90/bbl and gasoline prices will be under $2.50/gallon in some areas of the country.

      I hope I'm really all wrong on this one though:
      Quote:Oh, and after the election oil will go back to $175/bbl and regular gas will be at $6/gallon by late spring of 2009.


      I hope I'm really all wrong on this one though:
      WhatMoney, yes you are exactly right!

      I'm tired of us being played all the time. $2.99 in NE GA and people in line for that.

          Long ago (eons, really!) that-there page moved. It's OK. There's a 25-year archive here, so best get to work on it! Please visit https://urbansurvival.com or click home on the menu above.


          In the Big Picture, we notice that OPEC is calling a meeting to discuss cutting their oil production quotas in order to hold prices high, but gosh, how coincidental; the meeting won't be till November 18th in Vienna. With an election over by then, they should be free to bump prices (via quotas) to whatever they feel like.



          Oil prices plunged below $85 a barrel yesterday, the lowest level in a year, as Opec, the oil exporting countries' cartel, called an emergency meeting to discuss reducing its crude production to halt the collapse in prices.

          Opec calls meeting to discuss cut in output as oil price hits year-low

          Oil prices plunged below $85 a barrel yesterday, the lowest level in a year, as Opec, the oil exporting countries' cartel, called an emergency meeting to discuss reducing its crude production to halt the collapse in prices.

          The announcement came as crude oil futures in New York fell almost $5 to an intraday low of $84.19 a barrel, the lowest level since October 2007.

          In late afternoon trading in New York, oil was down $4.14 to $84.81 a barrel.

          The drop suggested that the market was firmly focused on the impact of the financial crisis on global economic growth and energy demand next year, rather than in the cartel's action.

          The cartel, which controls 40 per cent of the world's oil output, said in an unusually frank statement that it was concerned about the "deteriorating economic conditions with contagion risks" and will meet in four weeks to tackle the problem.

          Gold, seen as a safe haven in turbulent times, recovered earlier losses to trade at $913 an ounce, up $8 on the day.

          Harry Tchilinguirian, an oil analyst at BNP Paribas in London, said the correction in oil prices had come to closely track movements in equity indices and, until such time that credit conditions normalise and confidence returns, "this is likely to continue".

          He cut his price forecast for the first quarter to $81.30 a barrel, adding that prices would average in 2009 about $95 a barrel, well below the $115 a barrel he predicted just a month ago. Oil prices have fallen almost 43 per cent from July's all-time high of $147.27 a barrel.

          The US Department of Energy reported this week that the country's oil demand averaged 18.66m barrels a day last week, down 8.6 per cent against the same period a year ago as the economic downturn takes its toll on oil consumption. High prices during the summer have forced US motorists to cut their mileage.

          Olivier Jakob, of Switzerland-based consultancy Petromatrix, said: "Be it in November or in December, be it formally or informally, Opec will need to reduce production not because the price is currently too low but because there is not enough demand."

          Opec said it would meet on November 18 in Vienna, a month before it was originally due to have its next gathering.

          The fall in oil prices was not mirrored in other commodity markets. Agricultural commodities and base metals rose.

              The reality is gas prices will never get low . They might hit a temporary low once a while , but over the long term ,the increasing demand and the decreasing supply will ensure that .
