Wake up guys, its not all price gouging........................... its not the price of oil driving the cost up. You can have all the oil in the world, if you cant refine it to gas or diesel, the price goes up. Guess what...refineries currently have a horrible output with all the damage and maint. going on.

There's a big Texaco gas station/truck stop by my house. They're the only ones that never completely ran out of gas because of Rita. Last Thursday I fill up there for $2.60/gl... by the weekend they were selling diesel for $3.45/gl!!! reg gas barely went up, just down the street at the shell station diesel was $2.75.
I was talking with the guy inside at the shell station and he couldn't beleive they were selling it that high down the road. He said the expected gas to go up some but that diesel would probably be the same
Well, the exact opposite happened. Reg gas is still $2.89/gl and diesel is atleast $3.19/gl everywhere...<edit>?

It would probably be great if it was made of all metal, but the plastic isnt good.
ou can make a home processor just like that, although probably not as pretty for a few hundred dollars or less.
Google " appleseed processor" or check out a few of the other threads here for links to sites that explain how to build one.

Diesel is $3.58 this morning here in Raleigh. Yesterday at the same station, was $3.52. Unfortunately, I live in a State that has higher prices than any in the nation other than Hawaii and DC.

If your going to watch wholesale prices, better off watching the spot price. That is what is being paid for the stuff, not the Nymex closing price.

Did a 750 mile road trip Sunday/Monday and noticed posted prices ranging from $2.69/9 to $3.99/9. Both of those were in GA. Don't know if the station with $2.69 price actually had fuel, but I'm SURE the guy charging $3.99/9 had plenty left.
Most trucks stops were in the $3.29/9 -- $3.49/9 range, with the biggest number at $3.39/9.
I saw a few stations with with $0.00 posted and the pumps closed off. One place ran out of diesel and changed its sign as I rolled in. I guess there may be an actual shortage.

I'm happy
Last year the return was 47%, oddly enough the biggest gains were in the health care sector though.

Had my number wrong though, the return was 43%, that was an exceptional year though, ten year average is 13.78%. Minumum investment is $3000.
on edit hadn't looked at what stocks this fund had invested in for quite some time, surpised to see that Cummins is in the top ten now. The holdings are always changing, better to let the experts buy and sell rather than me.
1 Sunoco, Inc. (operates five refineries)
2 Phelps Dodge Corp.
3 Parker Hannifin Corp.
4 CSX Corp.
5 Coventry Health Care Inc.
6 Cummins Inc.
7 Fiserv, Inc.
8 CIT Group Inc.
9 Sempra Energy
10 MGIC Investment Corp.
