I was beginning to like the downward movement and $3.39/gallon. Then Ike hits Texas, and here we are.
On a somewhat related note, GM's hybrid models are selling like ****.. That is, they ain't selling.
Toyota's Prius continues to dominate among the green buyers. The thinking goes, if you're going to buy a hybrid, you want it to look like a hybrid. You don't want to pay $10k more for a hybrid drivetrain in a plain old Chevy.

Actually I think you'll prolly discover the oil price is more tied to the dollar index as of late, which had been going down, today it went up, oil prices went down. Not to mentions the futures contracts were all being closed out last week, which tends to drive the prices up.

the prius thing is a little different, its more about looking green. its like birkenstocks and tie die on a grateful dead fan, or the rolex/aston martin on james bond...
