I'll be on the beach in Mexico for the next couple of months , so the weekly report may not be up every week (depending on wi-fi availability).

Ya!!! whats up...I left this morning, and it was 4.05. returned 8hrs later, and down to 3.99....ya buddy

 

Is anyone watching the prices on GASOLINE as well??

My feeling and belief is this: The folks overseas that have us by the short hairs right where they want us as far as fuel costs go are keeping DIESEL FUEL prices HIGH because they know we need TRUCKS, TRAINS and SHIPS to get what WE need to market, so we'll pay these rediculos prices no matter what.

Why don't we try paying the people that work on oil rigs only $15.00 an hour rather than $35.00 too??

Most everyone in the US has taken a pay cut or lost a job since the economy took a turn for the worse in late 2007 early 2008 anyway.

A few cents a gallon on DIESEL, and as far as I can see GASOLINE has come down almost .50 in the last month or so........

 

I doubt anyone would work on an oil rig for $15 an hour, we can't find any one to work const locally for that.

 

ya really...i cant see McDonald's workers and oil riggers, being paid the same.

 

I'd GLADLY come out there and flip burgers at McDonalds for $15.00 an hour!

IF these folks won't work cheaper like the rest of us have had to then shut the darn rigs down!

 

i was comparing the 2 jobs in general. $15.00 aint nothing to bark at, but get'n paid $15.00 to flip burgers...come on.
