What can we do to bring the gas price down?

A client just told me something about Somalians were trying to steal oil and now oil has shot over $180 - any truth to that?

 

If someone farted really loud in the mid east, the people buying futures here would get scared...then gas would go up.

 

This is the most recent thing I found, posted 3 hours ago.

I checked BBC, NY Times, CNN, and google news.

 

There was an article on MSN predicting oil to over $180/barrel. I surely hope that one doesn't come true. :?

 

thanks, those of you that know what business i'm in know i get those kind of calls all the time and unless i am listening to the news i don't know unless it is on one of the sites i do have access to.

 

Here's a link to the MSN article. I'm going to shake down the couch and buy 1/100th of a barrel.

There are two sides to the price equation - supply and demand...the article focuses on supply (current/known) and how certain situations (very crappy ones, I might add) are going to screw us. Maybe.
