Oil hits record near $76 on Nigeria, Mideast

ServoScanMan · 07-13-2006, 07:16 AM

I read where oil is around $76/barrel. Guess what...some of the guys at work that were knocking me about buying a Toyota Prius are now starting to ask me questions.

Funny how money talks.

Here is the link about the oil price increase.

I know the feeling, soon we will all think $3.00 a gallon is a good thing. If the Gulf get a hurricane this year, we could see $4.00

Sure glad I have this car

All of my calculations for "financial" justifications for getting my Prius were based on $2.50 per gallon. Now I am way ahead of the curve.

My coworkers have a friendly bet that the price will hit $80 a barrel by the end of next week.

As I type this message, Bloomberg is reporting $76.30

That's well beyond what the experts when discussing the effects of $60 even dared to fear.

$78.12 appears to be the closing price.

Remember when it was only around $30 ...back in the time when people didn't know what the heck a hybrid was.

<blockquote>"Crude oil closed at a record $76.70 a barrel, and many oil traders were talking about crude hitting $80 soon. The hit for consumers: Another 20 cents a gallon at the gas pump."</blockquote>And more demand for Prii (along with increased smugness for current owners).

I think the $78.12 closing price is for after-hours trading.
