Petrol prices

70NYD · 21-02-2009, 03:30 PM

in the recent months, with the world wide economic crisis, people loosing their jobs and barack obama becoming the first african-american american president, the last thing on everyones mind is the petrol prices. but since i lost my job the money is v.tight, so iv been paying close attention...
it started off a few months ago when the prices fell to around .89 and i was so effen happy, cus this reminded me of the days when i first started driving.. slowely but surely, each reccuring thursday, price was up a few cents more from the last thursday.. now its 1.30 again :'( why??? most of all why da hell isnt anyone making a big scene about it now, it used to be everything everyone talked about a few months ago, when the oil giants extorted us for our hard earned money each week.. yes it is extortion, as EVERYTHING NEEDS OIL TO RUN, every machine, even if its wind or water powered generators still need oil for lubrication..
so my question is this.. will petrol go back to under 1 or will it keep rising?

crude oil is dirt cheap by comparison to 6 months ago and that is not reflected at the pump the slightest bit WTF!!
