NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Oil prices fell to a nearly four-year low Thursday, dipping below the $44-a-barrel mark, as concern about the economies of Europe and the United States continued to weigh on energy demand.

U.S. crude for January 2009 delivery fell $3.12 to settle at $43.67 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It was the lowest closing price since January 5, 2005, when oil settled at $43.39 a barrel.

Prices have fallen more than $100 a barrel from $147.27 in mid-July as the worldwide economy has driven down demand for petroleum-based fuel.
