Will oil hit $20 a barrel in 2009?
Background: Oil prices are a funny thing, they're up they're down and they're everywhere. At first it was expected that oil prices were going to go up again, then they went down for a moment and now we're here. So in 2009, does $20 oil, seem plausible or even likely?
It's up to you, but the peeps at contrarianprofits are predicting it, albeit they don't think it will go any lower than that.

: Are we talking about oil at $20 a gallon or oil at $20 a barrel, or actually gas at $20 a gallon or a barrel...
Just doesn't seem right...

plenty of economic pain to go around these days because of the recession. Now there's this: Gas prices have surged nearly 10% over the past two weeks. That's a gain of 20 cents during the past 14 days, and the national average hit $2.248 a gallon

"2. Iran will save oil. OPEC’s spotty execution in cutting oil output will not stop oil prices from falling further. But Iran’s refusal to stop its nuclear development program will beget serious sanctions from the West, threatening Iran’s oil exports. Oil prices will hit $20 per barrel and then start rising again."
So I suppose you meant to ask if oil would hit $20 a barrel, not would gas hit $20 a gallon...
Apologies,
