- MrBelding, on 01/02/2008, -2/+207"Oil prices have doubled from $50 a barrel in January 2007" - Mercy!!
- vertinox, on 01/02/2008, -9/+160Also gold has reached an all time high. Welcome to Recession-ville.

Now to invest in canned food and shotguns. - ObviousCat, on 01/02/2008, -6/+135Oh, I see, its the oil that cost 100$, not the barrel.
- purpmint008, on 01/02/2008, -14/+141The DOLLAR is going DOWN!
:( - Rotzooi, on 01/02/2008, -21/+125Thank you, Compassionate Conservatives!
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -7/+91The terrorist have won! Bin Laden was right, didn't he say that the war would drain America? looks like we fell into his trap
- Kallius, on 01/02/2008, -1/+77I just hope next year's headline won't read, "Oil prices have doubled from $100 a barrel in January 2008."
- DickyT83, on 01/02/2008, -3/+75Bad times to be driving an SUV.
- DeskFlyer, on 01/02/2008, -4/+65You'll change your mind once you're old enough to drive. ;)
- sailor, on 01/02/2008, -19/+79Just elect Hillary, she said the prices would come down if she was elected!
Muslims just respect women...especially powerful women...yeah, thats the ticket. - bullcutter, on 01/02/2008, -21/+77i'm laughing at you car drivers all the way to the bank (on my sweet huffy).
- dellis, on 01/02/2008, -3/+56dugg for the "sweet huffy" oxymoron.
- ridium, on 01/02/2008, -6/+58So I guess you're also laughing at the people who use oil to heat their homes (a good portion of the NE US as well as rural areas) and the companies that have to ship things (including your huffy) to stores.
- Phocion55, on 01/02/2008, -2/+53In other news, Exxon profits up 400%.
- nihilite, on 01/02/2008, -16/+60I hope it DOES double again! We are getting farked over a barrel for our oil dependency, and the only thing a majority of americans care about is money. Until oil is too expensive, they will not chance anything about how they use it. I'd like to personally say *&#$@ YOU" to every jackass driving their Hummer in suburbia right now. Enjoy the $150 gas stops.
Let's get serious about biodiesel, solar (photoelectric, solar steam etc), wind, et all. We do not need all this fossil fuel! - breckinshire, on 01/02/2008, -0/+37The barrel is an extra $19.95.
- williamdyer, on 01/02/2008, -4/+38If the perodollar goes out of style it will be $500. Or 50 euros, whichever you prefer.
- MadOtaku, on 01/02/2008, -0/+34ObviousCat is obvious.
- nobleexperiment, on 01/02/2008, -10/+41Ride A Bike.
- houndeyex, on 01/02/2008, -2/+33Was there ever a good time?
- inactive, on 01/02/2008, -3/+34Cause the collateral damage to the poor smuck making minimum wage, driving a 10 year old Escort 40 miles round trip to his job is inconsequential, right? Lets not forget about the impact of the gas price on all the goods and services.
The Hummer driver doesn't give a rat's ass about the cost of gas.
The upward spiral of oil is driven by both greed and a ***** energy policy. - SilverBlade2k, on 01/02/2008, -8/+37And Big Oil wonders why people are pissed at them....we see *any* reason as to why oil is so expensive as a lie these days:
"Refineries are under maintenance" = "We can increase price because you have no other option"
"It isn't us, it is Supply and Demand." = "We have the supply, you have the demand.."
"It is because of natural disasters." = "Even though we *could* increase production in other places to make up for the loss, we won't because we're greedy" - maaaaark, on 01/02/2008, -2/+30it's ok: the barrels are twice as big now.
- BossKey, on 01/02/2008, -3/+30Maybe we should invade an oil country to stabilize the supply. Yeah! "Kick their ass, take their gas."
Oh wait... - staxofmax, on 01/02/2008, -0/+27You ever take it off any sweet jumps?
- EricAnderton, on 01/02/2008, -2/+28Cargo ships run on diesel and aircraft burn jet fuel. Think things on the island are expensive now?
- rif42, on 01/02/2008, -4/+30Oil did not not hit 100 USD a barrel, it is the USD that have hit 1/100 of an oil barrel.
- thejokker, on 01/02/2008, -2/+26the higher oil goes the more cost effect other energy alternatives will become.
The easiest way to become less oil dependent is to get fed up with the price. - ussoldier, on 01/02/2008, -4/+27why do you people keep voting these turds into office? i ask people, and they say, oh, i voted for him the first time, but not the second, and i won't the third. so... explain to me again, why you voted for the alcoholic son of a CIA spook the first time around? And for that matter, why did you vote for a CIA spook before then. And before then, why did you vote for a jellybean popping hollywood actor who's costar was a monkey? Oh, because he was a 'father-figure', oh yeah, great reason to base a choice on. You're all getting what you deserve IMHO. You're about to vote another ***** into office... not a cool anarchist, no, not someone who would really shake things up and sweep out all this corruption and crap.... nope, you're going to yet another one of the fat cat poser party polititians who looks like he's all about reform, but its all a bunch of talk, as soon as he's elected poof forget you, he's got 4 years to ***** over the country any way I like. But that's 'democracy' in action, baby... you had a choice... er.. a choice to chose someone to chose for you every other real choice for the next four years, while you have zero input at all. Democracy. Garbagocracy if you ask me.
- theutopian, on 01/02/2008, -5/+28Hmm... economy collapsing. Oil record highs... Stuck in 3 endless wars (iraq, afghanistan, 'war on terror')...Civil liberties eroded... we fell hook line and sinker into the trap. The terrorists have won. The question now is, what are we going to do about it?
- yish, on 01/02/2008, -8/+31not high enough.
- foco2001, on 01/02/2008, -1/+24Happy New year for Oil Companies indeed!
- truspect0r, on 01/02/2008, -4/+26I thought they were bringing home some oil from Iraq!!
- nicko68, on 01/02/2008, -1/+22Awesome, you can cash in your stocks to help pay to fill your tank. :)
- MindTrigger, on 01/02/2008, -6/+26yeah.. because bikes would clearly work for all people and all situations if only people were as smart as you and took notice. What a douche.
- Orb9, on 01/02/2008, -1/+21KFC just raised the price on mash bowls by $1.... yup, civilization is definitely coming to an end soon.
- houndeyex, on 01/02/2008, -9/+29***** stole mine.
- Evildudetx, on 01/02/2008, -3/+22Doubtful. He will leave office and go home, just as all the crooks before him have done.
- TheSkinsFactory, on 01/02/2008, -5/+24And we'll all be laughing when your date to the movies has to sit on your handle bars. If you ever go on one that is.
- Standeck, on 01/02/2008, -10/+28Excellent! My energy stocks are up over 25%!
- Asure, on 01/03/2008, -1/+17Your stock value is not going up. The dollar is going down.
- purpmint008, on 01/02/2008, -5/+201. I'm not a Ron Paul fanboy.
2. The higher the price of oil goes, the worse the dollar gets. Look it up, ask professionals, etc.
3. The petrodollar is coming to an end. - segura, on 01/02/2008, -1/+16Glad I traded in my Mustang GT for a Honda Civic 8 months ago . . . the savings in gas actually covers my car payments.
- ivandir, on 01/02/2008, -3/+18WE ARE *****. $100 oil for new years what a big present.
- deadbaby, on 01/02/2008, -3/+17I'm not complaining. I hope it hits $200 a barrel. People need a real reason to switch to a cleaner alternative.
- MindTrigger, on 01/02/2008, -1/+15Don't forget all the other gaz guzzler types of cars. SUV's aren't the only ones.
- evil-doer, on 01/02/2008, -4/+18theres always a first
- cambob76, on 01/02/2008, -3/+17Water doesn't burn. We're running out of water too.
- l1324523, on 01/02/2008, -7/+21Except about 9/11.
