The Never Ending Problem of Rising Domestic Heating Oil Prices

Saturday, June 19th, 2010
oil price
Daniel Hirsch asked:


With crude oil prices at pump rising strongly, as fast as $2 in every region, large numbers of countries are getting concerned and worried about how much high Domestic Heating Oil Prices could raise, and how the government should deal it. Oil prices do control the cost of many other items also. Most of the products purchased by the customers are brought from some distance, from manufacturing unit, to a wholesaler then to a retail market. Customer shipping, habitat heating, and electrical energy can also be unfavorably exaggerated by increasing fuel expenses.

Unluckily, these vast assets are only a fall in the drum when measured up to with the United States household demand. Currently at 20 million drums per day, the United States might totally consume this store in just 35 days. Of course, every nation on the world uses fuel. Worldwide insist is at the present at about 83 million barrels per day, and increasing each year by concerning 2 million barrels per day. According to E.I.A website worldwide fuel requirement is about 1.3 trillion barrels.

In some nations and its neighboring countries the government is giving Discount on Domestic Oil to the green card holders. So that the poor people may get benefited in fulfilling their basic needs. This is one of the steps taken in a lot of countries to control the price of fuel.

A new scheme has been launched by government to provide Home Oil Deliveries to the residential flats and towns in order to prevent the black marketing. It is astonishing to see that the pace at which the oil reserves are being used, it would last only for 10 – 15 years at most. Therefore the rise in oil prices is obvious as regard to this situation.

How many of you would join me in forcing the gas prices down until Hurricane Ike is gone?

Friday, June 18th, 2010
gas prices
Instantpainrelief2008 asked:


Oil prices went down to just over $100 a barrel. However, gas prices in my area surged to well over $4 a gallon because Hurricane Ike caused oil refineries along the Texas coast to shut down. In order to bring down the gas prices again, I have decided not to drive my vehicle until the oil refineries along the Texas coast have returned to normal operation. I am going to take public transportation during this time. I cannot do it alone. I need your help.

GOOD: Oil Addiction

Tuesday, June 15th, 2010
GOODMagazine asked:


good.is If we’re addicted to oil, our twelve-step program should begin with admitting that we have a problem. As the price of oil creeps higher, finding new energy sources is more important than ever. But the search for alternatives, combined with environmental disruptions, is putting new pressures on other essentials like food. There are some things that are going well in the world. Right now, the economy is not one of them. Animation & Design by Chris Weller Directed by Max Joseph Music: “Genesis” by Justice www.myspace.com www.christopherweller.com http

Brian M asked:


The price of oil has risen by at least $5 per barrel over the past days, yet the USO ETF has fallen 2-3% in this time. What’s going on? I thought USO was supposed to track the price of oil.

How big of an effect would lower gas & oil prices to the economy?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010
oil prices
Amber asked:


Would the Dow Jones and Financial system be in as much of a slumber? Do you think if gas and oil barrel prices went to exactly to what they were before the crisis had begun, do you think we would be able to pull out of the financial crisis?

Reason I ask.. all I ever hear anymore is how people can’t do anything because of gas prices.

Don’t Let Fish Oil Price Decide The Effectiveness Of The Product

Saturday, June 12th, 2010
oil price
Chuck Blake asked:


I was enraged after reading that many people consider fish oil price as the only parameter to rate the effectiveness of the fish oil. They have a wrong notion that money can buy them everything including health. Remember the old saying – All that glitters is not gold, same holds true even for omega 3 supplements too. Fish oil price has got nothing to do with the effectiveness and its quality. Mind it; I am not encouraging you to go in for cheap supplements. All I am pointing is that best supplements need not be expensive. I have seen some very expensive oils containing more toxins and fewer omegas 3 than one costing much less than them.

With increasing pollution in ocean water, fishes in them tend to accumulate high levels of toxic heavy metals, and chemical contaminants like mercury, PCBs, lead, arsenic, etc. Consumption of oil extracted from such tainted fishes can lead to various health hazards like mercury poisoning. Fish oil price can never give an idea of the levels of toxins it contains. I have seen some of the most expensive soft gels having highest levels of toxicity.

An effective omega3 supplement undergoes molecular distillation process to filter out all the unwanted and harmful toxins, leaving beside the rich and high quality fish-oil. It also has first-class COA (Certificate of Analysis) and is backed up by various standards like International Fish Oil Standards, or IFOS.

It is a known fact that DHA and EPA type of omega 3 are much crucial for our health as compared to ALA. Many overpriced supplements contain higher percentages of ALA instead of DHA and EPA. Since the conversion of ALA to EPA and DHA is very complex and not very efficient; thus even after taking fish-oil you can remain deprived of essential omega fats. It also observed that quite a few supplements have more EPA than DHA. This is also not recommended.

Effective one has high DHA to EPA ratio; 2:1 ratio of DHA to EPA is needed for maximum benefits.

Like we just discussed; fish oil price is no where related to its quality instead it is related to the marketing cost. There are many companies which prefer spending money on researches to improve the quality of the product rather than on advertisements and promotions.

You should always check the purity of the product by looking at its COA. Freshness can be tested by cutting open a soft gel and smelling it; strong fishy or any artificial smell is an indicator of rancid fish and poor maintenance.

I personally am using fish oil (60 soft gels) that costs less than $20 for a month’s supply. It is molecularly distilled and has 1000mg of oil per gel of which 280mg is DHA and 120mg is EPA. To learn more on high DHA fish oil supplement click here.
