probably around $60 a barrelHow high do you think would the price of oil be today if the US hadn't invaded Iraq?
Probably about half the price is in reality. But who cares?? Money is not the most important thing. It was a war of aggression and it is wrong. Full stop.How high do you think would the price of oil be today if the US hadn't invaded Iraq?
it is the greedy oil producers who are limiting the amount of oil in circulation to push up the price
these are not the americans
i think it would be around $70 to $80 a barrel
The price was in the $20-$30 per barrel range before Bush started his war in Iraq that disrupted global oil production.
There would have been a slight rise due to the increased demand by China and India due to Bush's economic policies that encourage American companies to offshore to those locations, but usage in those locations is just a drop in the ocean compared to US usage.
The drop in the value of he dollar as compared to other currencies has also fueled the rise in price.
It takes more dollars now as compared to more stable currencies like the Pound or the Euro.
Unfortunately oil is only priced in Dollars, so a weak Dollar increases the price of oil.

Should I fill up my gas tank now since the price of oil dropped today?
Or do you think its gonna keep lowering and I should wait a few days? I still got about half tank full.Should I fill up my gas tank now since the price of oil dropped today?
i would wait a couple days... actually i did. on Wednesday gas was 3.52 where I'm at, thursday i decided to wait even though it went to 3.49, then friday i ran on fumes and got gas for what was advertised at 3.479, but was actually 3.459. I filled up and should be good for about 2 weeks because i don't drive much. I figure its only changing a couple cents a day, i would wait it out until you are almost empty or the first day you see it start to go up then fill up.Should I fill up my gas tank now since the price of oil dropped today?
fill it up half way, and if the cost drops more tomorrow, fill it up all the way. If it goes up, at least you have some gas to last you for a week or so until it drops again.

I filled mine up yesterday with $45 when it usually takes me almost $60. So fill up while it's cheap. Because in todays time, there is no telling what it will do tomorrow.
I would fill up today as in this day and age the price could go back up in a few hours
You can, but oil will drop even more.

Why is oil up today after oil inventories were up?
If we have more oil than we are using, why does the oil price continue to drive upward? This does not make sense, does it?Why is oil up today after oil inventories were up?
It does if you embrace the concept that investment speculators who buy paper futures in the oil market will continually drive the price upward until demand wains.
If people do not change their consumption habits by cutting back on energy use or by finding alternate energy sources, or governmental agencies do not implement effective countermeasures to offset the future market frenzy, the price of oil will continue upward until the global economy completely collapsesWhy is oil up today after oil inventories were up?
The price of oil will go up regardlesss even it we locate 2000 new pools of oil. People will listen to Lindsey (www.lwoil.com) Things are happening that he knew 25 + yrs. ago.
In 1960 Lindsey says that crude oil was chosen to control the world. He says that a few families were involved in this venture and just like my H.G.Wells Outline of History says
every era there were wars over the minerals and oil etc.
He also says that the poor unsuspecting people that they dwelt with would be offered high loans and would have them
buy our national debt. These people (federal is not really we the people) but these few that have multitudes of Americans doing their dirty work. Oil is just stored and stockpiled and used as currency. The rest of the world found out that the paper currency was just that, PAPER.
Good ?? The congressmen and Bush and Cheney know the plan. The company that Cheney was a CEO once, is one of these companies that were doing some of this work and they know why the congressmen, that want to do right know their life is in danger or their families.
Peace!!

Made a STUPID mistake adding oil today?
I dont know how often this happens to other people but... i left the oil cap open while i started the engine only for about 20 seconds and hit the gas a little... some oil squirted out into the engine but i cleaned most of it out, oil level still good, anything else i should know? I feel really stupid now.Made a STUPID mistake adding oil today?
No worries. Clean up the mess, put the cap back on, and learn from it. We all do something dumb once in a while.Made a STUPID mistake adding oil today?
Happens ALL the time! don't worry about it !
2 things-
#1- Go get a couple cans of ';Gunk';(or another brand) Engine degreaser, go to the local self-serve car wash. Let the car cool down some(with hood open makes this quicker!), before coating the hood(UNDERSIDE ONLY !-most of these WILL harm paint!-You could spray front of car off, hood closed, to reduce overspray damage) and engine compartment with it, let sit recommended time, wash off!
This IS pretty messy!!
#2 Your car is gonna burn that oil off, AND SMOKE/SMELL while doing it 'till you wash it off, or it's all burned.- As far as your engine goes, Not to worry !-BUT NEVER let it run/drive it, like that!(can catch fire, or ruin engine)
At worst, you'll leave a trail of smoke for a few days while the oil runs down onto the manifold and burns off.
This is NOT the stupidest oil story I've come across.
At a station one time, this guy stopped me to ask me how to check his oil. I showed him. He was a quart low. I told him what to buy and went on in to pay for my gas and get a pack of smokes without thinking much else about it. When I come out, there he was, trying to pour oil into the dipstick tube.
you should be good, the main thing you'll probably notice is that you'll smell the oil when the car heats up and that oil starts to burn off. If you can, wash it off somehow to prevent that smell cause it can be pretty strong. I remember oil got spilt in my engine bay once and for like 100 miles it was burning off and i had a small amount of smoke coming out of the engine bay...it was kinda scary lol
Don't feel silly. I have a shop and you would not beleave how many cars come in with things like an oil cap or a break cover or even the oil dip stick sitting on top of the engine.
It happons all the time.
If the oil level is still ok and you cleaned the oil off you are ok.
Dont worry.
It won't hurt anything as long as the level is good. Make sure you check oil level when it's hot. An some spilt oil might burn and you'll smell it when you drive the next couple times. You could cover the alternator and hose down everything good and wash as much of it off as you can.
after working in a lube shop for many years, i will tell you that you are not the first person to do that, i have done it a couple of times.just wipe it up the best that you can. the engine might smoke a little so be prepared. if oil spilled in a hot enough area, you could have a fire problem. wash it down with some detergent. just avoid getting any sensors too wet.
Everything will be fine. You may smell oil burning when the engine gets hot, but it wont last long and after a few days you wont smell it anymore.
at least you didn't leave the gas nozzle in the opening for where you put in the gas and drive off.
Just peek inside to make sure nothing like a leaf or any dirt fell inside. Otherwise you are fine.
It's more common than you think, lol.
No big deal really.
No big deal, drive on
yes , dont do that any more .
call a car repair shop. DOnt drive your self it mite blow up.

What can I do to start labor without castor oil? Also, today is full moon, does that matter?
I am 10 days past due with my first child. I am on bedrest for blood pressure problems and can't walk alot. This baby really needs to come out today, please HELP!!!What can I do to start labor without castor oil? Also, today is full moon, does that matter?
Poor you! you must be miserable! You really shoulds speak to your dr or midwife...if they are concerned about pre eclampsia, they will want to induce you in hospital. Labour can cause your blood pressure to rise and that can be dangerous if it is high already. Women who have high bp or pre eclampsia are notorious for having speedy labours! I am surprised that you have not been scheduled for an induction, you may wish to call and speak to your caregiver about this.
Castor oil is a miserable way to start labour...it works by causing muscle spasms around the rectum, which in turn starts muscle spasm in the vaginal area, which can cause you to go into labour. It will give you the runs and possibly stomach cramps and vomiting. That is no way to begin labour!
A full moon tonight? Good, sounds like you need all the help you can get! Good luck...I am sending you birthing vibes :)What can I do to start labor without castor oil? Also, today is full moon, does that matter?
since you can't walk ... i've seen people say that having sex will start it.
get a back or foot massage there are pressure points in the back and feet that can relax a woman so much it can induce labor. there are massage therapists that will come to your house. if your blood pressure is high don't have sex it will only make your blood pressure rise and then you can have a stroke. if the Dr. don't want you to walk he sure don't want you to have sex.
walking does help. Sex helps. Don't do the castor oil thing. Your baby will come when it is ready to come. Don't hurry it.
This will only work if you are OVERDUE and there is no threat to your baby.
hold your urine. it will make you contract. Then when you get to the hospital they will make you pee; your cx will stop, but they will probably keep you since you are overdue. When your contractions stop, they might send you home too so dont get your hopes up too high.
or, call your doctor tell him you are having symptoms again for high blood pressure IE spotting in the eyes, headache and see what he says. This happened to me also. They did an emergency c section.
Have sex- semen does something to the cervix to ripen it.
I will probably get a lot of negative feedback for telling you this, but I know what its like to be pregnant and to want it over with!
The most you have is 4 more days anyway before they induce your labor, you might want to try and stick it out.
good luck
I don't think a full moon has any thing to do with it. I would suggest having sex. There is a hormone (prostaglandin) that is released that helps to start things if your body is ready
Take a ride in a bumpty truck. An 18 wheeler works great. It worked for me!
I did casotor with my soon nothing happen.Have heard that about full moon old wives tale but this might be also my Dad told me when the apple is ripe it will fall
Nipple stimulation might work to get things going. I am surprised though with high blood pressure your doctor hasn't induced you yet. And as for being induced I was induced twice and the contractions were no more painful then the ones I had with my first two where I went into labour naturally.
Although they say sex is a great way to get things started its probably the last thing you feel like. Try a really hot bath followed by a quick dip in a very cold one.
Sex helped me, I actually went into labor during sex.
There is nothing safe that you can do to start your labor. Your doctor should start the labor with medication if you are so far overdue. Most docs don't let moms go that long anymore. Let me warn you, however, I've had the IV drip that makes your labor start and it was 100 times more painful than going through the process normally. Don't mess with what God intends. If you take castor oil don't travel far from your bathroom, either. When it is time, it will happen. I'm sure I carried my babies (4) for 10 months.
Walking and sex are supposed to bring on labor in late pregnancy. I don't know if your bed rest will allow these activities. Don't know how accurate it is, but I think it is more accurate than eating and drinking something. The sex is supposed to release prostaglandins which may help ripen the cervix, so at least it has some scientific merit maybe.
I think the full moon thing is a myth.
I don't think castor oil is very pleasant. It will open the floodgates for your bowels as well.
You baby will come when he or she is ready. Maybe your doctor will induce after 2 weeks. It seems to be a common practice. Or maybe you could ask to be induced. I have issues with induction, though. It's more painful, etc.
1. Try black and blue cohosh- you can get it most health food stores. Black cohosh is used to regulate contractions, and blue cohosh is used to make them stronger.
2. Red Raspberry leaf tea helps to tone the uterus muscle.
3. Make a tea out of cumin seeds- it doesn't taste all that great, but seems to help get contractions started. Drink one cup every hour until you get in a good pattern.
4. Evening primrose oil worked well for me- take three orally, and then insert two in the vagina while laying down. They will melt inside of you. It has natural prostaglandins in it that help to ripen the cervix.
5. Try some nipple stimulation- it releases oxytocin into your blood stream. That will make your uterus start to contract.
6. Clary sage oil mixed with a carrier oil, like almond oil, and then mixed with any kind of lotion. Massage on to body.
7. Have your doctor strip your membranes. Also relases natural prostaglandins.
8. There is a pressure point in the webbing between your thumb and first finger. Try pinching and rubbing it in circles. There is another pressure point four fingers widths up on the inside of your ankle from the little bone that sticks out. Rub in a circular motion. You'll know when you find them, cuz they will be a little achey and sore when you rub.
If you have any other questions feel free to contact me. Hope this helped- Good luck with your little one!
Raspberry leaf tea. It's not nice to drink but it can start labour off. Also spicy food.
wait til the ospital gives you an inducement date. my daughter was 11 days late and the hospital gave me a date to be induced. i was that scared the day before i went into labour at 3 in the morning of the day i was supposed to be induced.
