- Dec. 09, 2009 Oil Prices December 9, 2009Sue
This morning the temperature at 8am, or so was 10 degrees. Official temp was 12. Not as windy.It warmed up to an official temp or 30, not quite that warm at our house.
Hmm, yesterday there was a slight drop in heating oil and crude oil by the time the market closed. And strangely, Larsen raised their prices 3 cents in response to the 2 cent drop. Pulliam remains the same as yesterday. Today the market price seems to be dropping.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.29 400g 2.26 up .03 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.28 400g 2.26 no change ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/08/09 Close 72.77 Crude 12/09/09 Close 70.65 down 2.12 12/08/09 Close 2.0185 Heating Oil 12/09/09 Close 1.9209 down .0711 Olay, heating oil at market close was more than 7 cents per gallon down. And crude lost more than 2.00 per barrel. So …….. home heating oil SHOULD drop significantly in the morning. We shall see.

The low temp this morning was 13, the high today was 28.
I said I thought the price might drop for todays consumers and it did, a little bit. That is most definitely a good thing.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.26 400g 2.23 down .03 Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.28 400g 2.26 up .02 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/07/09 Close 73.98 Crude 12/08/09 Close 72.77 down 1.21 12/07/09 Close 2.0198 Heating Oil 12/08/09 Close 2.0185 down .0265 So prices did drop today. 1.21 down for crude oil, and a little more than 2 cents for heating oil. Prices should drop for tomorrow. Probably 2 cents. We shall see if I am learning anything and if my prediction is correct tomorrow.
I love the cold weather. It will be more fun if we get some nice snow, and really cold weather for Christmas. I think I will get all my shopping done this next week and then we will be ready for it when it comes. I am dreaming of a White Christmas, and I am not referring to a drink, although that is okay too!

Friday, the day before our party was pretty warm. Cooler at night. Was slightly below freezing Friday night. Saturday was cool, all day long. The cold weather they are threatening is here, or darn close. I think the high was Saturday was about 38 and the low about 29. Sunday the 6th, the east wind started to blow. It was howling all day long, and driving in cold air from the gorge. The temp was low, I think the high was about 34 and the low about 23 or so. Monday morning when Dan and Rosemary left it was about 20 or so. They returned home to -23 F. We were not that cold. The temperature dropped most of the day.
Well I messed up Friday, and did not collect any info at all. So today, I will use today’s opening prices and closing prices. Hopefully I will be back on track and do a better job in the days to come.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.29 400g 2.26 no change Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.26 400g 2.24 no change ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/07/09 Close 75.47 Crude 12/07/09 Close 73.98 down 1.49 12/07/09 Close 2.0360 Heating Oil 12/07/09 Close 2.0198 down .0185 Okay, prices did fall today, almost 2 cents for home heating oil, and 1.49 for crude. So we should see a slight drop in price for home heating oil tomorrow.

Getting cooler, they say it is going to get downright chilly, sunny today, near freezing last night, and they say it will be below freezing tomorrow night.
sorry, today is the day before our party and I forgot to call and collect the info from Larsen and Pulliam oil companies this morning. I also did not check this morning for the open and I was not around in the afternoon to see the close. The price should have been very close to Thursday’s price, and prices went up a few cents so I expect the price will be slightly higher on Monday.
Hope to see many of you on Saturday at our 35 th Annual Open House.

Hmmm. Yesterday the market closed with heating oil down a smidge over 3 cents and crude down 1.51. Today’s local heating oil prices surprised me a little with Larsen staying exactly the same, and Pulliam down 4 cents.

Happy Birthday Jane ! The good news is the market is trending down today. So hopefully tomorrows prices will drop again.
Larsen Oil 503 281 0003 200g 2.29 400g 2.26 no change Pulliam Oil 503 564 4968 200g 2.30 400g 2.28 up .o1 ——————————————————————————————————————————————————- 12/01/09 Close 78.22 Crude 12/02/09 Close 76.71 down 1.51 12/01/09 Close 2.0682 Heating Oil 12/02/09 Close 2.0372 down .o310 Yesterday the market closed up. Heating Oil was up 6 cents, and crude was up .85 cents. I expected home heating oil to climb by 6 cents, but Larsen did not raise their prices at all, and Pulliam went up 1 cent. It is losing ground at the moment so perhaps it will lose what it gained yesterday. That is what I am going to think. Okay, the prices dropped, but not as far as they rose yesterday. There is hope for tomorrow.
