Oh, and you really should have an email somewhere listed on your website for sending in bug reports for your widgets.

I also appreciate looking at the download demo picture that has the price of oil at $77.60. A nice memory! A great widget.

Maybe I should update my screenshot with one showing > $100 a barrel. The only way I can see oil going down (apart from temporary seasonal effects) is through a severe economic recession. So I've hedged my USO with some SDS. I'm currently at 2/3 of my money in USO and 1/3 in SDS. Ah, the good ol’ days when oil was $77.60 a barrel.

In 2010 oil will be over $250 a barrel and gas will be $10 a gallon. Even though reserves are rising which should make oil prices drop the fact they don’t drop in price is because the political tensions are rising. With that you will either buy a hybrid which will still be expensive to operate or ride your bike or take the public transit. There are ways to reduce your fuel cost.
