Looks to me like the same $70-80 range we have been in for the last 6 months.

My feeling is that if it were not for speculators... crude would still be below $60./barrel.

Supply/demand has never supported $80 crude. It has been fueled by the speculators (currency and oil).

Alaska North Slope Crude closed at $74.72 on Friday. I don't think that it ever got above $80. The highest figure that I have recorded is $79.89 way back on October 21st, exactly one month ago today. You can follow it for yourself at Anchorage Daily News. www.adn.com/money

We've a long way to go to get the price of oil back to January of this year. I don't believe it will make it. That made gasoline reasonable again.

It's really not moving much now. 77 to 82 and back again. But gas just keeps on climbing. Odd isn't it...

Crude oil prices, a very slippery road we navigate on! Up one day, down the next, with pump prices ever climbing upwards. With the holidays approaching, I'm sure we'll see a spike in prices until after the first of the year. It's amazing how the oil companies continue to think that consumers don't have any smarts to figure out what they're up too.

Yeah and prices stay up. We are using less gas and they are starting to close refineries, lay off workers there also. Its all a conspiracy. We pay what the oil companies want us to pay.

Keep sliding down to normal, which should be around $0.33 per gallon.

Oil was pushed up by speculation. Waiting on the next round.

The price may be bouncing in the $ 70 to $ 80 per barrel range now, but that range will be cheap come April 2010.

again I say that crude can slide, glide, hide or rise like a rocket and the prices we pay at the pump for gasoline seem to have no direct coorelation. Let's face it: we're screwed no matter what. When gasoline supplies are high and prices start to soften big oil will just arrange another refinery fire or "planned" maintenance shutdown.

It could go as low as $5 a barrel and we would still be overcharged.

Good, just as long as it remains reasonable. I'm not thrilled about $70 to $80 oil but just as long as we don't see $100 oil again I'll accept the current price.

If crude oil continues to "slide" why is it that gasoline prices have gone up?
