According the the EIA release, “continued steady world oil demand growth, combined with only modest increases in world spare oil production capacity and the continuing risks of geopolitical instability, are expected to keep crude oil prices high through 2006.”

  • Retail diesel prices are also expected to average $2.62 per gallon, 3 cents higher than last years average of $2.59 per gallon.
