Question Fuel price will rise due to OPEC

Whats your opinion on this??


"OPEC currently supplies around 40 percent of the world’s oil requirements. There are reports coming out of the office of the Kuwaiti Oil Minister that fuel price will experience a hike after OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) has reportedly said that it will not boost fuel production until the price of oil has ceilinged at $100 per barrel.

This cautious move by OPEC comes from its understanding that economic recovery does not depend on the rising prices of oil. The current price of oil is $71 per barrel. Crude oil pricing has seen an increase of 60 percent this year following a plunge caused by poor demands during the global economic downturn. The increase in oil prices at present is not due to rising demands, but rather to investors buying crude oil as a protection against the failing US dollar."

Yeah, so the recovering economy will tank once again because of the escalating price of delivering goods to market. Some just never learn from their greedy mistakes.

Maybe in California, not here. It's likely though, that the price will tank again after summer.
