Default Gas Passes $3 a Gallon: Oil Prices Break Records and Climbing

Some anaylsts are predicting $70 to $80 oil this summer. Could become pretty expensive to travel this year.

Who wants to bet if this turns into a political discussion or not?

Either way we are paying just under 2 bucks here in OKC.

These prices do suck, but analyst said we’d hit 100 dollars a barrel this past summer

That’s the whole reason right now for the increase, speculation, not a lack of supply

No, this summer. Demand is outpacing supply. China is eating oil at a pace that no one predicted.

They've been discussing it all day on CNBC. These prices happened AFTER OPEC said it would increase production by 500,000 barrels but almost every analyst said that wasn't enough to offset the rising demand between us and China.

the news that oil prices were going to jump $.25 a gallon almost two weeks ago was reporting that oil prices could reach $70-$80 a barrel over the next two years.

I see $1.92 here. We are probably one of the lowest in the country.

I see a lot of motorcycle riding this summer.

I agree 100%!!!! We need to move to renewable and alternative energy ASAP!
Our dependence on oil leaves us vulnerable and actually funds terrorism.

Baja that is totally unrelated you know the president has nothing at all to do with oil prices. Why must you always blame everything on our fine president?

Alaska's not the answer. There isn't as much oil there as the controversy would indicate, and a chunk of whatever we did get from it would still go to China and the rest of the world anyway.

Oh stop you're whining. No one attacked you personally or otherwise, now post your gas prices so you can talk about how high your gas prices are.

EDIT: Why the Neg rep? Have I offended you? Are you having a bad day? Or is it just in your nature

I think if they can have threads about farts on the main page this is certainly more relevant.

Gas in Iraq is .15 a gallon. I am not kidding. One of the biggest things to steal over here is oil. Imagine the profit of a tanker filled with the stuff. They are doing a good job catching them but it cannot be easy.

I remember suggesting people take bikes to work and got chewed on like marinaded pork chops. I used to ride 10 miles one way to work. I enjoyed the ride and saved a ton on car expenses.
