Quandl package is your friend:
library(Quandl) # download and install if necessary
oil <- Quandl('FRED/WCOILWTICO', type='xts')
# Search the quandl.com site to make sure this is the data you want.
# I just put in your text string 'WTI - Cushing, Oklahoma' and got several results which might be the one you want.

This may give a warning if you haven't gotten an authentication token.

Hello again,

I need to download 'WTI - Cushing, Oklahoma' from '
http://www.eia.gov/dnav/pet/pet_pri_spt_s1_d.htm' which is available under
the column 'View
History'

While I can get the data manually, however I was looking for some R
implementation which can directly download data into R.

Can somebody point me how to achieve that?

Thanks for your help.
