> [@j\_espo1](#): > > 117.60 a barrel today. > > $5 a gallon is whats gonna happen. Wanna make a wager on that? $50 says we don’t see $5/gal regular unleaded here in WNY in 2008. Most indications are that the dollar has hit rock bottom and has started to recover. The fed will probably make a 1/4 point cut at their next meeting and then hold, which should cause the dollar to start climbing. EU economists are signaling they are going to have to start cutting rates as well, which will also help the dollar. The dollar has been gaining on the Yen and started gaining on the Euro at the end of last week. As the dollar climbs oil will go down. ---

Jay you must realize that the average person crying about the oil prices has no clue about why or what drives the prices up. They just think there is some really mean guy somewhere that keeps raising the price or something. Over the next six months the dollar will gain a ton of strength as we have IMO hit bottom like you said. Last weeks reports were all blood red for the most part but only to the tune of about 1/3 the injury that was reported last quarter. ---

Why do you guys think that the dollar has hit its “low”, and why would you think that an interest rate cut will bolster the USD? I also don’t think we’ll see $5/gallon regular this summer baring some catastrophic event, but I don’t see bbl prices going south anytime soon either. ---
