Seems funny that when they say that the price of Oil went up $ 1.00 per Barrel
the next day it goes up a Nickle a gallon at the pump. but when they say the price of Oil went DOWN $ 1.00 per Barrel it takes it 2 weeks to go down a Penny a gallon at the pumps.

Guess we cant blame the OPEC Princes of Plunder for all of our pain there seems to be a lot of greed that is generated in this country that is associated with the current price situation.

Paid 2.02 tonight on the way home and that's the cheapest I've seen around here for a while. Most places are between 2.09 and 2.15.

piad 1.92/gal in matthew, mossouriat the flyin J. 10 miles north and 10 miles south it was 2.00+/gal. I guess my overhead, and gauge must be off.
I fill up by Lake Ray hubbard in Dallas. Drive to Memphis, fill up in memphis. go where I need to go. turn around. Fill up in Matthew, Mo, drive to sulpher springs put 40 bucks in drive home on a 1/4 of a tank. Seems to me that I am getting a little better if not at least the same as my other truck. So it takes about 40-45 gal to go 800 miles. let's see 800/40= 20. Nuthin to really complain about when doin 80 most of the time.

Well from what I hear there is already a shortage in fuel oil, oh yea I guess they didn't figure winter was going to happen this year! I always hate it when I forget about that.

Anyway I just paid $2.20/gal in SE-mich, gas is $1.90/gal btw.
