BTW, If you let the tank get that low don't park on an incline with the rear going down.

it's all a conspiracy!!! LMAO

Have you guys noticed the dollar is going down, like a rock in water. Right now NOBODY will trade currency with us. Canadian is practically dollar for dollar (or whatever the hell you french americans call it). Back in the old days, when the dollar went weak, traders and billionaires moved their money to safer areas, like gold for example. Plenty of others places, but you get the point. Well back in the old days china and india were nobodies on the global economical use factor. Crude is a commodity and has always been but it is more of a commodity than gold right now. Billionaires and traders are moving their money into the crude oil market. Well...if more people are buying it on the commodity market then the price goes up. More importantly, more money rather than more people. It's really simple capitalism at its finest.

There are a ton of reasons for all the things you guys speak of, not enough refineries, not enough that, too much of this, but that's just not where the dollar stops. It's what the refineries have to pay for a barrel of oil. And right now the demand for crude is high. Albeit the demand is high for the wrong reasons, but the demand is high. Sure the OPEC could ease the market, sure blowing communist china and north korea up would certianly drop the price...but until that happens we all just have to wait until a dozen eggs cost 8 bucks. Which isn't far away.

The fix will unfortunately be as ranwalk says...crash. The crude oil bubble. LMAO, conspiracy.
