It is all about greed, make no mistake. A finite resource, demand is down and this is the price today. Wait until demand increases, then we will pay the big money!

Are they issuing a tube of 'personal lube' with each fill-up? Still 3.09 here, off-road was 2.79. Let's print a few billion more, that should solidify our position in the world!!!

I beg to differ. There is plenty of oil in the reserves. No storms in the Gulf. No impending middle east wars. It is ALL about the value of the dollar vs. other world currency. That is not opinion but fact. Simple economics. It is a commodity value adjustment vs. the US dollar. Oil world wide is priced in US dollars. When the Fed anounced another round of easing the US dollar began to fall against other world currency. The oil is not worth more but it takes more dollars to buy it because thr buck is worth less.

Exchange rates do effect the cost, but that is not the only element in the cost, merely one more. World is sipping oil now,
when it begins to gulp it again, the cost will surge in and of itself. If our money is worth less , than that is an additional
hit. It is easy to forget why we are all here-tryin not to burn oil !

I might park the diesel truck and transfer plates to a old chevy gaser I have. Gas is way cheaper I don't have to plug it in in the winter like the diesel. Plus easier starts when cold. Many years ago diesel was cheaper than reg. gas now its more than high test

My farmer friend says they're taking this country apart from the inside out. Glenn Beck continues to warn us. We have an anti-colonial president with a radical left wing agenda, the NWO creeping in. Didn't Mr. Lipstitch give a 2 billion dollar loan to Petrobras for oil exploration off the coast of Brazil? And ban offshore drilling and drilling in Anwr, a place that basicly has no environment to be impacted?
Isn't diesel a lesser distillate than gasoline? Madness, madness...

Today was one of those days that revives my determination to avoid spending one red cent to the oil companys that is not absolutely necessary.What lit me up was putting $41 bucks worth of diesel in the tanK of a V.W. Last oil runup was only a short time ago and it looks like here we go again. Mike
