Question: Crude Oil Charts

Where can I find crude oil charts online?

Google finance is great for seeing the charts of stock prices. When I read a newspaper that describes current crude oil prices I'm never able to find the equivalent charts. For example, right now it says crude oil is trading at around 60 dollars a barrel. Is there a chart, like the google finance charts for stocks, that show the price of crude oil over the last while (or even longer)? Thanks!

A few months ago I needed to search for this, turns out the situation is quite complex and the best data is behind paywalls (or my petroleum-fu is weak). Here is what I came up with:

U.S. Energy Information Association

Bloomberg

How much is Oil?

Doesn't go back farther than 5 days, though.

The Google iGoogle/Dashboard widget for "oil" links here and provides multiple time-series charts.

Association? some wiring must be loose in my brain, it's the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Somewhat related (though not charty): if you've got an iPhone, this app was released today, for tracking the price of light sweet crude.
