What is your price per gallon for diesel?

Here in SW Florida, (Bradenton area) it ranges from $3.25 to $3.29, It is just TOTAL BS to me. This is not spring break nor summer vacation times. I'm driving as little as possible, you oil companies can take that fuel that I'm saving and stick it up your a**
Happy New Year Everyone else.

I think that there are places that even have it worse then that. Hard to imagine, but I think places like Turkey, Greece and the EU have even worse prices due to them trying to get people to use more public transit(which really won't work for the majority of the US here, my home town was actually built around the idea of public transit, so it works to an extent(DART)), and also the EU is really into the Global Warming ideology as well.

Diesel used to go down in the summer and up in the winter due to heating oil usage. In other words, it works(or at least used to work) in reverse compared to gasoline usage. There are a little more variables in this then just the profit angle. I am not trying to mitigate that angle, but until the other angles can be controlled, at least a little more then what most people due, it's hard to just say greed.

3.69gal in Riverside CA...
Last week I read an article that an Ex Shell Executive said to expect gasoline...GASOLINE to be at or over $5.00/gal in 2012. If that holds true that puts diesel in California at 5.50-5.75/gal.
This is just the start guys hang on to your shorts. Remember the last go round we were at 2.50-3 bucks a gallon and someone said they will get us use to 3-3.50 a gallon since we are all bitching. Once we got comfy they would shalack us again.... Here it comes the light at the end of the tunnel and it's not daylight.....

Think what you want. My grandfather was in the oil business(bismic might know my family as he lives not to far from the remaining ones) and if he wasn't dead, he probably still would be or just about the time to retire.
Not only that, but my education and work life has been spent in Agriculture, so that puts me in a little better position then most to know how trading happens on the CME(my grandfather did that as well, mainly for corn and cotton futures though).
Is the greed angle there? Bet your *** it is. Is it as clear cut as you like to think that it is? No. Very little in life is as clear cut, black and white as people would like to think that it is.
Think what you want though, you're going to anyway.
