I'll trade you!
I will gladly trade you for that $3.99 a U. S. gallon fro diesel! here the price is $1.26 a liter which is really close the size of a U. S quart. The Canadian dollar being on par witht he greenback these days, take $1.26 x4 and you get $5.04 a U. S. galllon! I work in the oil patch and we produce a lot of oil where i live, which has things booming. This is probably one reason we are payin more too, oh yeah lets not forget the crooks in Ottawa and Victoria more commonly known as the Canadian and British Columbia governments with the outragios taxes they put on fuel!

Thought of a new bumper sticker. Not to degrade anyone, but you ever seen the guys standing with signs "will work for food"? Going to get one made saying " Will work for fuel". But I guess we already do.

It will be curious to watch and track the Oil Companies' profits during this time. In the recent past, while there was rhetoric about oil supply, weather conditions (hurricanes), etc. effecting the consumers' cost, the oil companies were showing record profits.

Reasons as I see them:
1) Politicians and enviros have prevented a construction of new refineries in US since 1976. That's right. The newest refinery in the US was built in 1976 (the former Gulf Oil Alliance refinery near New Orleans). Refineries matter. There is actually a fair amount of crude on the market right now. But refined product is another story. And no company in its right mind is going to take on building a refinery in today's environment.
2) Artifically low interest rates are destroying our currency. International oil sellers would rather be paid in Euros. The dollar just doesn't buy as much as it used to. Foreigners aren't buying dollars because the return on them is insufficient.
3) Control of most of the world's oil supply is concentrated in the hands of the national oil companies of countries who, by and large, hate us. The majors (Exxon/Mobil, BP, Shell, et al) only control about 15% of the world's reserves. Hugo Chavez and the Russians and the kings of the Middle East are calling the shots, NOT the oil co's as all the ignoramuses in the media seem to think. No one ever quotes the "windfall profits" of Russia's oil co, or Venezuela's, or Abu Dhabi, or whatever. So called private "Big Oil" has been nationalized and marginalized by oil producing nations over the past few decades, with the trend accelerating recently. And the Hugo Chavez types around the world don't exactly have our best interests at heart.
Just my .02.
