Oil futures options are now being sold for $200/ barrel!!! That means auto fuel could average $7.00/ gallon and 100 LL $11.00/ gallon. A few years ago a round trip flight to Destin Florida ran me less than $59.00. That same trip now runs me $150 and at $11.00/ gallon will cost $330 for 100 LL. Any body that thinks Ethanol is the answer, I have a bridge to sell you.This doesn't look good for aviation. I feel once this sinks in aviators will trailer their aircraft to their garages and park them there. The largest consumers of oil are American utility companies and higher utility bills will drive up the cost of every thing. Looks like we are in for Hell! I listened to a Texas geologist say that he knows there is enough oil under the ground in the United States to meet its needs for the next 200 years!! The blame for this mess falls right in the laps of the socialist environmentalists and a weak government. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 02:01:46 PM PST US Subject: Re: Glasair-List: Oil From: darnpilot@aol.com I agree with what you say up to the point you blame it on "...the socialist environmentalists and a weak government."? The blame is on corporate greed and conflict of interest of government representatives, especially those beholding to Big Oil.? Those that profit from high oil prices and war are the winners (and they are in control). -----Original Message----- From: Craymondw@aol.com Sent: Wed, 7 Nov 2007 10:31 am Subject: Glasair-List: Oil My daughter in law is the assistant to the owner of a 15 billion dollar hedge fund that operates out of Greenwich Connecticut.

Supply is low and demand is high. Prices have not dampened American's thirst for oil, and the Chinese are buying everything they can get their hands on. There are two ways to solve this; stop using oil or start drilling. This country has all the petroleum products it will need for many years to come. All we need to do is get it. You can blame "big oil" till the cows come home and as long as you drive your car (I don't care if it is a big SUV or a hybrid) you are using oil. So, if you want to stick-it-to "big oil" get 10 or 15 % of the population to stop driving, stop using plastics, stop heating their homes, and stop using electricity and the price of oil will drop dramatically. So, stop whining and do something practical. OTOH, we all know that won't happen because WE ARE ALL GREEDY. You want cheap fuel prices - that's a form of greed. Who said you have a right to cheap fuel? I'm greedy too, as I want my stocks to pay out as big of a dividend as possible. I'll bet your retirement plan has oil stocks too. So, let's stop the blame-game and deal with the problem. We need more, we have more, we need to get more from what we have, and we need to plan realistic alternatives for the future, like nuclear power. And, we need to put our scientists to work to develop radical new sources for energy, not these silly feel-good initiatives like wind power and ethanol.
