Oil prices dipped below $100 a barrel

March 25, 2008

The Peak Oil sites had plenty of articles when oil popped above $100 intraday and then articles about oil above $100 and then articles about double digit oil being history Will they be as active if oil goes back below $100 a barrel for an extended period ?

Anonymous said...: I think the price should rise roughly 10% which is the real rate of inflation now (whether or not the gov. wants to admit it)....but the reality is also demand in the USA & Europe & Japan has not increased in 2 years..but demand from emerging markets is exploding...as a result prices will rise but lets be honest.
Consumers in America are switching to cars that get higher milege...I personally switched from a 20mpg car to a car getting 35mpg (and its not a overpriced hybrid).
As more Americans ditch trucks and SUV's fuel prices can rise but people will be less effected.
I think the higher the price the better...we will have smaller cars and safer roads.; March 26, 2008
