Just curious if anyone's noticed a rise in gas prices after yesterday's new high for oil of $62.30? Analysts seem to be expecting stocks of distillates to be up, gasoline to be down, and crude stocks to be down significantly. I get gas about every two weeks (not counting TacoNights), so I don't get to see regular fluctuations.
Interesting factoid I ran across today- the actual inflation adjusted high price for oil is $97.79. Anyone want to guess when that was? (Hint- it was longer ago than you think)
Non-political disclaimer: It's pretty clear politics has had little effect on oil prices, so it doesn't matter who's in or who's out- driving forces appear to be speculators and a refinery bottleneck (no new ones in 30 years or so will do that to you), so don't go blaming anyone other that us lowly consumers. :beer:
