Default $100.00 barrel of oil to stay - at least until 2016

It looks like the price of a barrel of oil will be above $100 at least until 2016 [:@]:

1 barrel of oil = 42 US gallons => yields roughly 19.5 gallons gasoline + 25 gallons of other by-product.

I know 19.5 + 25 is greater than 42, but you get extra by-product due to "processing gain". So, $3.50 gas (premium) is here to stay .

WOOO HOOO for our country being idiots and buying our oil from over seas!!!! NNNOOOOOTTT!!!!! Man thats so ridiculous!!!!! We have enough oil fields right here in the US or just of our coast. But NOOOOO we have to ship our oil over seas and then pay $100+ a barrel for oil to be shipped over seas to us! Thats so much bull!!!!

Yeah but buy then it will be $200+ a barrel and we will be paying $6+/gallon for premium. That will suck.

You know the part that pisses me off? Crude oil has reached record prices - and yetoil company profits are at a record high. Hmm I wonder why?[>:]
