    OPEC 'powerless to prevent' oil prices jumping toward $100 a barrel this year

    It's why I've been laughing at the surge in purchases for larger vehicles similar to the one that preceded the last huge oil price spike. Anyone remember Hummer?

    Maybe we should be looking for solutions with Iran and Venezuela that don't involve military threats? Or maybe we should stop effing around with tariffs on Canada in the name of "national security"? Bringing Iran into the market helped bring prices down and backing out of that slightly coincides with recent trend of increased prices.
    Yeah I always liked people buying the gas guzzlers because gas was cheap then. Because it never drastically changes in price...

      There's a sweetspot. I've heard $70-$75. BUt that's a few years old now. Might be higher now. The way I see it, you need to balance consumer with industrial interests when it comes to oil.

      A spike in oil price would be bad. A gradual climb to $75-$80 would be nice.

        Yeah, oil prices have been too low lately, it really would be nice right around where you say, but I expect that it won't stop there, it will keep going up to 100 and higher. Selfishly, that sounds fine to me, we make a ton of money on high oil prices, so it means huge bonuses, job security, and pay raises.

              Frankly, the Jeep Wrangler (when I bought mine) was a gas guzzler. I didn't care, because I lived 2-7 miles from work (depending on the year). However, if I lived, say, 20 miles from work? My vehicle choice probably would have changed.
