Angry ATA Says Trucking Industry Will Spend $85 Billion on Diesel Fuel in 2005

Not that this will surprise anyone:

"ATA said motor carriers will spend an unprecedented $85 billion on fuel this year, marking a $23 billion increase over 2004....In its "Short Term Energy Outlook," EIA projected diesel fuel would average $2.41 per gallon in 2005, up from a previous estimate of $2.29 per gallon. At the same time, EIA projected diesel would average $2.50 per gallon in 2007."

hmmmm

Well at least it's only another 10 cents ontop of the 50 it's gone up so far. It's crazy but with the price of gas, and diesel finaly cheeper, at least I"m breating a bit lighter. I laughed when the lady next to me at the light decided to try and take me off the line in her gas excursion. I'm sure whoever fills that baby up ain't gonna be happy. Hot rodding an excursion at 3.25 a gallon for gas.

Last Spring when we were wishing Diesel would be cheaper than gasoline again we should have been a little more specific.
Who knew the Wishing Fairy had a sense of humor?
Diesel went up, and gasoline went up more.

Not exactly what we had in mind...........
