Just thought it'd be some interesting questions to ask. As always, explain what your choices were and why. If there's a sensible choice in one of the questions I left out, I'll add it.

The current spike in prices has nothing to do with supply and demand, it has to do with the refinery capacity and the current economy.
I figure we'll see gas drop below $2.50 at the end of summer (with no huge natural disasters or refinery problems). There is currently no incentive for oil companies to build refineries, it's not a money maker. Simply bringing the oil out of the ground makes the money, so why do anything else? Oil prices haven't really gone up, only gas prices. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
