Oil prices pass $132 after government reports supply drop

Oil Execs Tell Congress: Don’t Blame Us

American Airlines to cut flights, hike fees as oil prices spike


NEW YORK (AP) - Oil prices bolted to a new record above $132 a barrel Wednesday after the government reported that supplies of crude oil and gasoline fell unexpectedly last week. And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher—a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon.
With gas and oil prices setting new records on a daily basis, many analysts are beginning to wonder whether anything can stop runaway prices. There are technical signals in the futures market, including price differences between near-term and longer-term contracts, that crude may have already risen too high. But with demand for oil growing in the developing world, and little end in sight to supply problems in oil rich nations such as Nigeria, few analysts are willing to call an end to crude's rally.

1.  Oil Shortage?
It can't be true. Just a few days ago the "Botox-Babe" money honey told me there was a surplus and the market rallied 200 points in one day?
