What the hell!! Wife just called me to say that the price of diesel has gone back up 5 cents! History: Back on 2/12 diesel was $3.339. On 2/26 it JUMPED to $3.599. Then on 3/02 it JUMPED to $3.699! Next on 3/04 it went DOWN 5 cents to $3.619! Now today 3/06 it's back up $3.699! What the heck is going on here? Now I know why the station has a permanent ladder with a platform on the freakin sign!! Geezzz.... This insane!! Sorry for the rant!!

It won't work. We need fuel. Buy it today, tomarrow, or next week, the amount of fuel used will still be roughly the same.

The only way to lower fuel prices is to use less over a long period of time. But seeing how the rest of the world is just starting to get motorized like the US and Europe, I don't think the overall world demand is going to get lower anytime soon.

x2. Its never going to come down! Get used to it and sell your truck and get a gasser before things get worse and your diesel aint worth ****! They are going to bleed us dry as long as we and the government allow it and I dont think there is anything we can do about it and I am sure the government wont.

Latter..............

I couldn't have said it better myself. That guy needs to quit drinking Obama's Kool aid and get with reality. Global Warming is B.S., Higher Taxes hurt everyone, and if you want cheaper gas, find it, drill it, refine it and we will all buy from your new station.

..........some people will suck up to anything that make's them feel all warm and fuzzy,then they get blind side'd and wonder what went wrong,company's,oil or what have you never pay tax's,the person who buy's the product does, what ever that product may be, yea,let's tax the britche's off of the big bad oil company's and in the process get $5.00 fuel at the pump, that's a great idea and being as they will all get taxed there will be no place to go to find it any cheeper,want to do something,get the oil speculater's and OPEC under control somehow,that's the real issue,and even GW bush said that on the new's last nite!!!!!.
