The Reality of Fuel

In private, I said in January that we’d have $4 Gas in 2008. However I’m kinda addicted to watching economic news now, and it makes me want to state my hunch publicly.

Gas Price Hunch for 2008

Short term or long term?

If you agree with my hunch that we’ll see > $4 gas, you must then ask what will be the trend beyond 2008. Allow me to make my prediction below.

I’m not smart enough to KNOW, but I’m dumb enough to GUESS

I know that Manic Melon will never be a credible source for fuel cost predictions, so let me direct you to the kind of data that supports these thoughts: Google News on Oil.

PS: I forecast oil to cost > $108.00 by the end of summer (or much sooner). Some people think the cost will go DOWN due to recession… but I think we’ll be moving into a period of stagflation. Anyways, I really only post this so I can drop “I told you so” comments later. Cheers :)
