Last summer we were buying diesel at over $3.50 per gallon. Lately we've
been buying it for $2.29 per gallon, instead of the $5 per gallon that
left wing morons like Harry were predicting. How can anyone complain
about fuel prices this month?

Lon, who is delighted at how little it cost us to get from Quartzsite,
AZ back to this side of the Mississippi river.



So, show us, Mr. Drooler, where I predicted that diesel would be selling
for $5.00 a gallon? Or are you just naturally retarded?

You're not the only Harry around here. We also have a couple of Toms, and
many Dicks.

It seems that at least one of the Harrys is also a Dick.

You must be new here. Either that, or Harry Everhardt has come back with
a new name. I haven't given you enough respect to accuse you of ANYTHING.

Went to the fuel dock today with a brand new 36-foot Sea Ray Sedan
Bridge.
(new model for 2007). 60 gallons of gas for our test runs cost the
dealer $211.
And it's still February.

So where did you go with 80 minutes of fuel ?

Idled from Lake Union to Lake Washington, ran at a variety of speeds
in two different directions for 15-20 minutes, idled back. Will have
to research the fuel burn on a pair of 8.1L Mercruisers. Boat rode
great in a slight chop, (15 knot winds yesterday), and will be a good
choice for somebody who values performance more than miserly fuel
consumption.

The news ticker tape just said that Bay Area (San Francisco) gas prices are

When pressed for reasons, the only people in a position to know why
the prices of refined products fluctuate as they do (the oil companies
and their spokesmen) will always cite "supply and demand".

In a free market, that means the price will go up until overall
profits are suppressed by a decrease in demand. So far, regardless of
the price, we have
demonstrated that we will continue to demand as much as the refiners
choose to supply. With the passage of winter, there is less need to
keep prices down and avoid the political drama of "freezing granny out
of her house and home", and it's back to sock-it-to-us time for
discretionary uses like boating and vacation driving. The current
stock values of Big Oil are based on last year's record profits (Exxon
netted over $4 million an hour, 24/365) and unless investors can be
assured that such profits are sustainable the stock prices will fall.

But heck, where in the Bill of Rights does it say that we're entitled
to cheap gasoline and diesel? Given the same corner on the market and
the control of the entire chain of distribution from extracting raw
materials to retailing finished products that a handful of oil
companies enjoy, darn few people would be able to say that they
wouldn't do *exactly* the same thing that Big Oil has done the last
couple of years.

Expect another ugly year at the fuel dock, but the good news is that
it won't seem quite so bad as before because we're all becoming
accustomed to paying 50-cents a pint. :-)
