I see that Terry but you & I both know that the oil companies control the refining of crude into gasoline & that, whatever the fairy tale is going to be this year, there will be a steep price increase in gasoline prices in the U.S. starting right after the election.....Wanna bet some coal on it?

I'll say that gasoline prices will start to rise again by mid to late November & will continue to rise until we are at or above the $4.00 per gallon mark again, probably as early as X-mass but certainly by mid January.

As far as what I'm betting....I don't have a huge "Family Heirloom" like the lump of coal you have but I can offer you a nice 40 lb polyethylene bag of Blaschak nut coal?

Yup, again.
