check this **** out

The Chinese government said Thursday it would raise the price of gasoline by 16% and diesel fuel by 18%. Investors initially believed the price hikes could dampen demand from China's growing economy.

"This is going to finally mean that the Chinese are going to feel more of the pain," said Peter Beutel, oil analyst with Cameron Hanover.

However, many investors Friday believed that Chinese refiners may start purchasing more oil, since the price hike would likely increase their margins.

i hate the high price of fuel... the airline index is now down 93%.....FedX and UPS have both lost in their company's stock market value.... the market value of railroads stocks have held up.... fuel cost is paid by the shipper (consignee) in many cases...

while i hate the high fuel prices i look foward to the new all electric cars, CNG cars and trucks, and all the many different ways energy will be generated and saved in the future.... there's also proof that people are now buying homes closer to their work places.... the current changes are not huge but they are measurable....

just think, biking and walking to work might happen...
