The second year in a row the UK gas prce has risen at the start of Summer...master plan I like it.

OPEC poised to hold output steady, aims for $75 oil

VIENNA (Reuters) - OPEC ministers set their sights on oil at $75-$80 as they readied for talks in Vienna on Thursday, but were expected to hold output policy steady and rely instead on economic recovery to drive the market higher.

Saudi Arabian Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said on Wednesday the world could now cope with oil at $75-$80 a barrel, the price range the kingdom considers high enough to sustain energy investment for the long term. He said it could be achieved before the end of this year.

...that must be nice.

wiegeabo · 06-17-2009, 12:17 PM

We've been pretty stable around $2.80ish lately. (Just paid $2.79)

...and now that I've said that, it'll break $3.00 today.

VampElvis · 06-17-2009, 12:20 PM

'bout $2.50 round these parts

I have a question. If you have a hybrid but no garage, where do you plug it into so it can charge?

...under a REALLY BIG umbrella.

Wiseman · 06-17-2009, 12:28 PM

Ask a stupid question I guess...

wiegeabo · 06-17-2009, 12:30 PM

You don't plug in hybrids, do you?

I thought the gas engine kept the batteries charged.

I think he is talking about all-electric cars. With a gas/electric car, I believe the brakes keep recharging the batteries.

No, I was just not paying attention to how they work I guess. I thought you still had to plug in hybrids for some reason, I thought the difference was that the all electric cars never really worked out as a technology that could last longer then a couple hours on a charge.

I just wanted to make sure what he was talking about and hadn't heard something new.

Yeah, regenerative breaking and the gas engine keep the batteries charged. And the gas engine kicks in for power boosts as well.

Gas is now $2.68 a gallon.
