Okay, This is Important: Crude Oil Sets Record High

050306Oilbarrels200-12
The price of a barrel of crude oil hit a new record high today at the close of trading in the commodities markets.

And that price was? $78.23.

To put this number in perspective -- this new high comes without a major hurricane having come close to the Gulf this year, and after OPEC said today it would boost oil production.
