With the early onset of the 2009 Winter, I was wondering. If we suffer extented and more sever winter temperatures, won’t the cost of travel, doing business and keeping warm require more fuel? So, then we’ll need more oil again (after the sharp declines in consumption due to NOBODY has a job anymore to go to), won’t we see increased consumption again? Higher prices would then again be passed on to everyone driving. And OPEC wants to also reduce production. So, enjoy your Christmas gift at the pump while it lasts. And I also wouldn’t count on seeing $1.00/ gal for New Year’s either.
