the big rigs are getting a large fuel surcharge added on to the shipping invoice.

I am getting between 10-15% so if the freight charge is $500.00 i get $50 xtra and that doesnt even come close to the fuel cost for a 250 mile trip .

Yep'er...Very soon now we will be hearing the ol' switch to heating oil refining story. We will take it...hook, line, and dinker.
Price will definitely go up. Will probably let it drop a little first just to get a good hook set later in the fall.

If they are going to use the Heating Oil story I wish they would of lowered my fuel this summer. $2.30 for heating oil during the summer and $2.80 for fuel at the pump. Boy I wonder if my fuel oil for the house will be almost $3.00 a gallon. Not to much concerned about the truck. I can always park it if I have to but gota have heat. The wood stove will get a good work out this winter, that for sure.

I've actually been thinking about this very subject for the past couple of weeks. I forget where I read this, but I saw a article that was noting the popularity in the large pick-up trucks. The article stated that the sells were exceeding those of the "SUV's"... Now, I will always listen to a good conspiracy theroy. How about noting the BIG 3 are having these Family Plans, Employee Pricing etc. etc... Do you think they know that buy putting as much of these gas/diesel guzzeling family "Trucks" on the road, that people WILL be willing to pay whatever price for fuel? Would you believe that the auto industry was "in bed" with some of the oil types? I hate them for even being associated with each other...
P.S. I pick up my new 6.0 PSD truck next week - I'm so ashamed...
