diesel fuel

i would like to know how the state and federal gov. are justifying us diesel users paying as much as .65 cents more than reg. gas. i mean diesel is less refined and therefore it has to be alot cheaper. does anyone know of a hotline or gov. address to send complaints about the blatant price gouging going on. i hope i am right in believing we are being hosed or is there info to suggest otherwise. sorry for the long rant i am just sick and tired of paying more for a cheaper fuel later

It is really hurting my bussiness. I am running about 120 miles a day with my delivery truck, and in southern DE fuel is $3.09 and $3.12.

Just filled up and paid $3.12 a gallon. Just a tick over $79.00. Thank goodness I don't drive this everyday.

It's only going to get worse with heating season approaching. Now with the pending sanctions against Iraq, the Middle East situation is sure to drive the price up to record highs.

I quess we are somewhat fortunate considering a buddy in New Hampshire paid $3.29 a gallon just yesterday.

well here it is the first week in nov. and diesel in de. has hit $3.39 already. i just can't stand the fact that no trucker's or small business's are not putting up the same fight they put up in 01 or 02. i mean to just to fill up my truck would be about $130.00,so i can't imagine a private trucker's expense. i guess bush and all his oil cronies won't be happy until we the people are all completely flat broke and deciding how we are going to get to work. sorry for the rant,but i wonder when enough is going to be enough.

Well the sad fact is that we may never see the costs below $3.00 again. Remember when it first went over $2.00?

I am off today so time to look for my own reactor.

i remember and that's there plan,most people don't remember and that is what they count on. they have the majority of people believing that these are normal prices and i would say that $4.00 is there next target price.
