Looks like the 49-8 mark was just a temporary thing or will we see it again this year?

I know this is good news for you, but this is honest-to-God killing me.

It's killing me too, yes, I get dividends and stuff, but in no way am I with the wealthy who can afford to invest and live off dividends alone!  ;)

I pay a lot in Texas, and in Mexico gasoline is very, very expensive.  >:(

Another difficulty with high oil prices is it fuels inflation and causes investors to be very wary, not to mention it KILLS economic growth.

The sooner we get off the oil pot, the better, but we will not see it for a while as our infrastructure just cannot move fast enough, and changes are always difficult for a country, even if it is for the better. When it DOES happen though, those fuel cell companies will be the next darlings of Wall street, and oil stocks will survive but may lose their attractiveness. I say survive because like it or not, even without auto use, oil is needed in MANY products we use day to day.

You need to cut costs.

Ummm...after carefull analysis I've determined that you don't really need food afterall. That should give you more money to buy presents for your girlfriend.

I noticed.  Yesterday morning 87-octane gas at Speedway was $1.99/gallon.  Today it was $2.26  >:(

I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.
