The storage problem is beginning to hit US oil producers as tank farms
are close to being full. Once crude oil is pumped out of the ground
it has to go somewhere. If there is no additional room to store
domestic oil it will drive prices downward in the commodity auction
pool, possibly by a large amount. The other good news is that
imported oil will continue to be squeezed out of the US market and put
additional pressure on the Russians and Venezuela.

I need to fuel up our trawler one of these days with 900 gallons of
diesel before we take off for a spring cruise. I've been delaying in
the expectation of lower prices. Stay tuned.

Hope you're right. Around here diesel has started its climb. It never got below $2.79
in the first place.

What are you crying about?
Here gas is $1.08 per liter and diesel around $1.30. Tomorrow that will
most likely change as our sister province next door just raised their prices today.
At one time they used to claim our prices were based on some imaginary
New York price. Saw in the news a week or so ago that now it's a more
expensive European 'Bent' price our government regulators use.
I think the government regulators and oil companies go around to find the
most expensive crude in the world to base their calculations on.


You pay for that "free" medical care.

Quality and timliness are big issues also. Non emergency care is
rationed and you can wait a long time even with injuries. Many
wealthy Canadians come to the US for serious medical care.
