You must have been looking at the octane rating instead of the price.

It's like everything is designed let the oil companies suck the maximum amount of money up without totally killing the economy. The news stories are just a cover up or a convenient coincidence.

It's been this way for almost 10 years. It really got in sync around the end of 2004.

Also, 2 years ago, the oil prices dropped pretty quick when the price/availability of electric cars from small manufacturers became more readily available.

I think that the oil companies realized that if they get too crazy then:
1). They kill the economy & then noone buys
2). Alternative fuel/electric cars become more of a competitive market.

Fall, 2008. Oil prices went from $140 something down to $30 something.

The fall mirrors the Dow.

You can lay the two charts on each other and they match really well. Trade-able well. :wink:

It's like the two are indicators of each other.

If you don't mind a used rental car, you can get a really good deal on a 1 - 2 year old, full size SUV now. If gas goes back to $4+, Dealers will be begging you to take one.

We had hummers and Suburbans on our lot that collected cobwebs back in 2008.

It was funny. :laughing4:
