Will not affect the market for about 3 weeks as shipments have already been sent at current pricing. What I dont get is that the diesel is higher as it is a byproduct of feul refining? Pretty lame.

I would have posted this earlier but this angered me far more than usual for some reason....

The Unocal on Beach held steady at $3.89 and the Shell on Beach is $3.99. But gasoline has only risen a few pennies. WTF?!?!?! Twenty friggin' cents in one week and gasoline goes up 3 or 4 cents. AAAAAHHHHH!!!!! (emotional gamut)

I just want to stop and slap the station owner, even though it's not really his fault. I'd feel better though, at least until the police showed up.

Yeah, I hear ya. It's enough to make Mother Teresa swear.

Local station, for gas, was $3.65 on Sat. Went down to $3.59 on Mon. Went back up to $3.65 on Tues after the oil price surge, then went back down to $3.59 Wed. And you know there was no change in their supply price during that period.

Farkin bastages.

But hey, based on your reports, I filled up at $3.79 on Sunday.

It's fargin' war!! (Johnny Dangerously, corny but funny)

Yeah, I topped off Saturday as well. I'm good for another 2 weeks or so but Diesel is probably going to continue the upward trend.

I spouted a small stream.... OK.... a river of expletives this morning while driving past the Shell station.

I think the trend on oil is going to continue downward - just my opinion of course. But like all commodities there will be bumps in the graph. The current financial "crisis" has things bouncing up and down without a clear direction. Once a deal is brokered in the smoke filled rooms below the Capital, we'll know more.

Meanwhile, oil companies will take advantage of every bump to screw us.
