derf5585 Posted October 26, 2008 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2008 West Texas Intermediate (WTI), also known as Texas Light Sweet, is a type of crude oil used as a benchmark in oil pricing and the underlying commodity of New York Mercantile Exchange's oil futures contracts. This oil type is often referenced in North American news reports about oil prices, alongside North Sea Brent Crude. Other important oil markers include the Dubai Crude and the OPEC Reference Basket. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Texas_Intermediate Chart from http://newsvote.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/fds/hi/business/market_data/commodities/28698/default.stm Oct 2008 $89 from http://www.forecasts.org/oil.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derf5585 Posted October 26, 2008 #4 Share Posted October 26, 2008 It's actually Heavy Fuel Oil - petroleum-based fuel which contains the undistilled residue from atmospheric or vacuum distillation of crude oil. It is also known as, Bunker Fuel Oil or No. 6 Fuel Oil. In Alaska and other ecologically sensitive areas we burn HFO with a low sulphur content (ie, cleaner but more expensive) to cut down on emissions. Some cruise ships also have gas turbine engines, and they run on Gas oil, a high grade oil thats rather expensive (our gas turbine costs about $10,000 an hour to run on max) from http://in.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070126070438AAwQM6P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
