$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Chris25', 'W')hat Im getting at is the fact that crude oil has risen without a major event happening affecting supply.

This is down to the simple fact that supplies are depleting.

Guess what guys, filled up the car this morning. 99p per litre (thats about £3.7 per gallon, that works out at $6 a gallon!

$7.40 actually, the exchange rate has not been so favourable for a long time. But I see what you mean, we have seen the price triple in four years, and although there have been a number of supply-limiting crises (Iraq, Nigeria, Venezuela), nothing of the sort that conventional wisdom so recently believed was necessary to cause that.

I've always been good at recognizing patterns. Not so good at checking the assumptions.

Here's a pattern I've seen.
2001 - met girlfriend #31.
2003 - broke up with girlfriend #31.
2005 - met girlfriend #33.
2007 - ?



What happened to girlfriend #32? That's what I wanna know. And probably everyone else. Forget peak Oil. one of your GF's is missing.

That's kind of the point. When you look at patterns like this, it's easy to see things that aren't there, and easy to miss things that are.

It's good you all recognized that #32 is missing. And let's just leave her that way. :)
