So what did our readers think was a bigger deal? The price going up? Or the price coming down?

Once again, we want your views on what are the top 10 oil stories of 2008.

I think everyone can agree that this year was quite a year. It seems almost premature to put out the list on December 4. Who knows what might happen in a mere 4 weeks until 2009 arrives?

In the survey form for ranking the top 10 stories of 2007, we asked if there were any subjects in our 40-odd story offering that we had missed. A box was presented to those who took this option, a canvas for offering their opinions.

The Barrel thanks everyone who contributed their views to the top 10 stories of 2007. We had more than 170 responses, with plenty of comments about what we missed.

The winner was no surprise: Oil soars, reaches close to $100 for WTI. But what was right behind it was instructive in in the way responders reacted to the various choices put before them.
