	Monday, October 06, 2008 Bloomberg -- Oct. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil fell for a fourth day as the credit crisis deepened in Europe, adding to concern that global economic growth will slow and reduce demand for fuels. Oil dipped as low as $88.89 a barrel after European leaders pledged to bail out troubled banks and protect depositors. OPEC President Chakib Khelil said today the price slide will continue next year, and Saudi Aramco, the world's largest state oil company, cut its selling prices for exports to Asia and the U.S. ``The negative sentiment that's growing in Europe is definitely having an impact,'' said Gene McGillian, an analyst at TFS Energy LLC in Stamford, Connecticut. ``The dollar going up helped oil start on a down note. People are looking at how far it will drop rather than looking at a technical rebound.'' Visit Bloomberg for full article

	the demand should be rising again as all the aspiring race car drivers have hit the roads attempting to set a new land speed record again. what a waste of fuel. i keep the tach below 2k and get into 5th gear as soon as possible, can now get almost 600 miles out of a tank of gas. at 80 mph i would only get a little over 300 miles. what a difference, my wallet just loves it. drive samrter, not faster
