$3.38 in my local but from $3.05 a week ago. I wonder if this summer if the "talk" will produce between 4 and 5 per gallon. *Sux for a river cruise, but We're still planning on going anyhow. We're already 4.50 a gallon....consider yourself lucky. |

You're suggesting that government should supply us with poor, mentally ill criminals? Someone else seems to be doing a good job of that already. And, I forgot to add, we should find that woman and stop her. :-) |

My advice? Become a stockholder. It's very satisfying to be a stakeholder in a well run business. I am a large stakeholder in my own corporation, and it's run very efficiently. But it's not in the oil industry where competitors work in collusion. I have competitors in what's called a free market. |

But it's not in the oil industry where competitors work in collusion. I have competitors in what's called a free market. Any time oil/gas prices go up, it becomes very popular to think that there is some vast conspiracy behind it. Who's fault is it when prices go the other way as they sometimes do? There are vast numbers of middle men involved in the production, distribution, refining and transportation of oil. If they think prices are going up in the near future because of a posible shortage, they do the same thing that you and I would do, and try to buy more right now. The only collusion involved is supply and demand. |
