Goldman Sachs were predicting Oil peices at $200 in 2008 as well. I wouldn't start panicking just yet...

no need to panic, but there might be a temporary price rise. the price per barrel did hit a peak in 2008 of close to $140. it's ~$115 today.

on the other hand, some forecasters think tomorrow will be a non-event.

And when it hit the peak of $140 fuel hit £1.30 ltr yet we are at only $115 per barrel and already fuel is £1.38 ltr and going up daily ...

worrying

fuel prices are hiking up well fast over here in Aus also. local garages have it up to $1.45 a litre for that crappy 10% ethanol rubbish 95 or 98RON is at least 10c more expensive...

we are catching up to pommy prices

£1.419 per litre at my local filling station - and that's only 25 miles from the oil capital of Europe!!

it's started, and how events pan out tomorrow will have an impact on the barrel price. hopefully if there are issues they will be shortlived.

the only thing certain about the future is uncertainty

http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...11-709027.html

in a nutshell, japan's reduced refinery capacity and industrial output, balanced with the saudi kings threat to chop peoples fingers off for protesting has meant that demand for oil is anticipated to reduce globally and supply remain stable... for the moment.

it's very sad that so much human tragedy is what influences the prices at the pumps... that and the 70% tax.
