Averaging about $1.55 gal in South Carolina.
I too am amazed that the truckers don't put up the B.S. flag and shut things down for a while.
3 years ago I could get fuel for .71 cents a gal. and a barrel of oil costs the same today as it did 3 years ago, + or - some change.
The oil companies have the world by the short hairs. What is even more intersting is that diesel is the garbage of fuels. Or at least one of them. It is very inexpensive to make.
30 years ago when the great oil shortage was announced, about the same time aliens landed & took over Washinton, diesel was the cheapest you could buy. Even into the 80's diesel was cheap fuel compared to regular gas, although it had doubled in price from pre 1975 prices.
So today, we pay the same if not more than the cost of premium gas, diesel still is cheap to make and the price of a barrel of oil has not, for the most part, changed in many years.
The world is getting hosed, big time, by the oil companies.

I guess it's time for the big oil companies to pad their obscene profits.

$1.56 to $1.59 here in Traverse City, Michigan. That's up about .10 from the first of the year. Unleaded regular is running $1.64-$1.73. I'm glad I'm not planning on driving to Maui any time soon.
