Just drove by local Fuel station today Diesel #2 $3.29 gallon. Unleaded $2.89 was just 2.79 a gallon yesterday.

 

welcome to the usa... our leaders have been ignoring this impending energy crunch for decades... we've sold our souls to these foriegh heathens for the oil they have... we have subjigated our national security to these rabid oil shieks and tied our national interests to the instability of their whims... don't blame the current president... he is simply dealing with the mess somebody else didn't have the ***** to clean up... it's time for us, as americans to wake up to the realailties of the world we live in... we NEED to become much more independant and yes even a little more isolated from the rest of the world... why... because if we let it happen... we will soon be paying over $8 for a gallon of diesel... and the funny thing is... as the price of dino diesel goes ever higher... the price of bio will follow...

 

damn dude, our last fill up in our 550 gallon tank at our shop was like $2.57.

 

Diesel raises and the shipping industry will fall.....and so will everything else.Already big talk of some trucking companies shutting there trucks down because they cant afford to run them.The main reason is the customers cant afford to pay fuel surcharges at these kind of fuel rates.

 

Yup, not the current administrations doing.... as a matter of fact all the money they are pouring into trade with China (instead of paying a living American wage) is going to help a lot as China turns to more oil imports to fuel it's growing energy crisis...... Yes, it's just a coincedence that the free world is ruled by a Texas Oil Tycoon....GW and his corporate buddies are laughing at the whole world......All the way to the bank.

 

We've just had a 2 month work stoppage at the port of Vancouver (One of the largest westcoast ports in North America) simply because the trucks unloading and loading containers are loosing too much money....A govt arbitrator was called in to settle the disagreement and came up with a solution that the shipping companies refused to abide by...

This may indeed have a positive result.... after a few years of not being able to buy foriegn goods, we'll have to make them here and our kids will have jobs without moving to Indonesia to make sneakers for a couple of bucks a day.

 

That's enough to induce a heart-attack!

 

wait until the holiday weekend coming up the pricees are going to go threw the roof i bet we will see 3.50 a gallon somwhere

 

Oh gosh you are so right, now I remember it was GW that gave the EPA all the power to regulate the refinaries out of business or make it so they couldn't afford to meet the regulations, and build a new plant, plus require us to use Low sulfar fuel which is very costly to refine from the higher suflar american crude thus requiring the use of Saudi crude which is low in sulfar and making the oil companies sell the american oil offshore or close the wells since it would make diesel more like $10/gal to refine it to current usable standards. thus making us totally dependent on foreign oil.
Also almost forgot it was GW that gave China all the nuke secrets, and electronics secrets to start taking over all business's that they can.
man I can't believe I forgot that Bush killed research, and production of hydrogen cars back in the 70s.
And let us not forget that GW didn't sign the energy bill that requires the use of ethonal cause that would possibly hurt the oil companies profits, nor did he ever try to get them to open anwar since it's the only place we own that has the light sweet crude oil that would reduce dependence on foriegn oil and cost the oil companies billions of dollars to explore.
And I can't believe no one has noticed that it was Bush that put isreal into existance back in the 50s totally destabilizing a region that was always unstable, and the fact he gave the saudi's billions of his own money to set up drilling thus making them multi billionaires withing a few years back in the 60s.
Yep your right he is an evil, evil man

 

monsterbaby... are you being sarcastic...? lol..!

seriously... this will only go on so much longer... why...? because the govt will not sacrifice the future of the economy while the oil companies post record profits in the BILLIONS...! it does no one in the govt any good to have the common folks mad at them for letting fuel prices get so high.. so they will step in and make this big public fuss.. but behind the scenes they will convince the oil tycoons to cut the prices back lest the cost of gas trigger a ressecion.... this whole sittuation is just pathetic...

 

i paid 2.16 last fuel up, next day it went to 2.39 fuel is one of the cheapest places in the nation here in south tx, but i cat help but think we will soon be paying the same as what is cost in mexico. i live 5 miles from the border and i remember when gas was like .60 a gallon in mexico. since the peso change, it has never been under 5 a gallon. looks like soon it will be that expensive here. good think my stroker is giving me ~19/g or i would really be crying.

 

Thanks to all of us buying products made in China their economy is booming. The number of people in that country that own cars has jumped from 5 percent to 25 percent over a short time. A 20 percent increase in a population of that size is a BUNCH of people and translates into a huge increase in the demand for oil/fuel. It's a sellers market. The oil companies have us by the nads...
