As the broader market began to regain lost ground, crude prices for
April delivery gained 2.3% to a new high of $101.11 a barrel on the
New York Mercantile Exchange, surpassing crude's last record of
$100.65 hit last week.


Still massively under-priced.

It wasn't that long ago (around 1998-99) I was working on designing
oil survey gear when the price was around $15 a barrel. Petrol prices
certainly haven't gone up 700% since then... Petrol is still cheaper
than milk and bottled water here in Oz. Funny how it all works huh?
