Oil has NEVER been so expensive. It's gonna be a costly winter.
What are you going to do to cut your consumption?

That was a bad print. The high is $99.60. :fmicon:
Gasoline is up $.08 today so it's starting to move too.
I'm going to drive less..
Adjusted for inflation?Quote:

it's not a bad print. I'm looking at bloomberg right now and it did hit $100.Quote:

I'm going to start by punching myself in the nuts. The harder it is to sit in my car, the less I will drive.
I will get around to washing my SUV one of these days.
The price to $100 on the Feb has two .20 cent gaps that don't match the March range.
Exchange is calling it good for now but I have my doubts unless the tick volume on those trades was huge.
my bloomberg shows $100.00 at 9:05 PST.
not sure what i'm going to do to cut consumption. still live in LA, so heat is never on. but hopefully move back to the mountains one day soon, probably grow a bamboo farm and use that for fuel. thinking about trading in one of the SUV's for a hybrid SUV, but not sure which is the best on the market. keep reading that the Ford Escpae is the way to go, but i still find that hard to believe.
26mpg/4 passengers X 108 mile RT @ 3.39 = $3.52 each, compared to $14 going solo.
Yeah. I carpool.
that oil print was on the CL1 chart.
It will come down a bit. Shit going down in Nigeria driving price up coupled with an expected report that inventories have decreased in US.
The market was 47/48 @12:08 when those prints came in.
The Electronic high is $99.60. It would be very unususal for the Pit high to exceed the Electronic high by .40 since most of the trade is Access. Those trades at $99.90 and $100 show zero size too.
CLG.AC on Reuters shows $99.60.
For me to be in a car solo is a very rare event.
Quibbling over $0.40/barrel isn't the point I get from those prices.
All this great news makes me wanna go lease another 13mpg full-sized truck.
Two traders arranged a one lot @$100 in the Pit to "make history".
I blame Robert Moses and General Motors. And the former didn't even drive a car.
yeah, i saw that it was just a 1 lot.Quote:

it did trade 100$ as a one lot print on the floor. net net with the spreads where they are, it got real close.. im sure there wasnt any real offers when it traded. watch out, since the fed has stopped lowering rates and the europeans have opened their lending window wide open, you will get widespread inflation in hard goods, but currency crosses wont move as much.. ie: buy commodities!!!!
I work 8 miles from home, the mrs 3 miles from home.
Skiing on the other hand is 17 miles from home so I really need to carpool that.
I can't afford to ditch the diesel truck I commute with and get a hybrid though. Maybe motorcycle to work in the warmer months. (to hell with biking to work - it is straight uphill one way. Damn that would suck.)
I'm going to pay more for my season pass next year.
what do you think of the Pimco Commodity RealReturn (PCRDX) mutual fund? I hate to gamble in futures trading with commodity's.Quote:

I'm still driving an '88 Corolla that gets 30+ combined and ~38 freeway. No one I know who skis lives near me or even on my route to the hills. My folks live 160 miles away and I only go over to visit them a few times a year as it is. There's just not much I can cut.
I wish the car companies would hurry the fuck up and get hydrogen fuel cell vehicles into mass production. Also, they need to start building little cars like my Corolla and the Honda CRX again. Funny how a 20 year old car with a carburetor gets better mileage than the same model today.
save gas
fart in a jar
Did you see all those dateline NBC crashtests where they ram cars into concrete walls? That's why. In order to pass those crash tests and get the 4-5 star ratings it takes extra weight/reinforcement to make those cars stronger.Quote:

I have a 1987 Dodge Raider (same as Mitsubishi Montero), I defy anyone to find a true 4x4 vehicle that gets better mileage on the market today.
its a good time to be in the metals, rare coins and jewelry market. :biggrin:
I cut back on my gas use by not working.
park my car in the town lot in november and let the snow perform a full detail which will be ready in mid-April. :biggrin:Quote:

I just put a throttle body spacer, cone filter and highflow exhaust on my Jeep. Thinking about dropping a supercharger on if it would work.
shorting stocks is fun. It will also help me buy more gas. Ideally, one day it will allow me to live slopeside, never needing gas again to get tot he mopuntain. But thats just a dream for now.
time to hitchhike.
sure.. DBC, GLD, SLV etc etc.. just wait out the dips, or wait for a dip to buy. hold for a long time... we are headed into a tough year.. high volatility..Quote:
