this keeps up i`m gonna have to get a moped

 

I just hired in a couple contractors to help at my job ..............I just have em stop in and pick me up in the mornin.........................my truck has been settin *** for the last month

its gonna get much worse too.............I see another buck commin at the pump.................people are using more fuel than last year at this time

demand is keeping the prices climbing

 

Actually WHIT it is the opposite. The price in this case is not driven by demand it is driven by the demand in China and India of all places. There is actually such a huge surplus in NA right now they don't know what to do with it all. Refiners are talking about cutting production to ease the storage issue - but as we know this will then drive the price even further because we will get to low and that will spark more controversy as a result.

I'm at the $5 gallon NOW and can't afford the $6 gallon so it is do or die for me right now.

 

you are right about India and China .......I was readin bout that a couple months ago and something like only 12% drive cars down there and they are all wanting cars now...........................big huge fuel usage is just beginin

 

It is nearly $2.00 a litre in New Zealand and around $2.20 a litre in Britian and here we are at $1.40 (give or take) and we still have room to play catch up. I don't know how "they" do it. I drive about 35000 km per year and if I get 950 km per tank and a fill is $180 that's just about $6700 a year!! Again, WTF...

 

From what I read the high prices are comin from the fact that oil is such a good investment right now that so many investors are buyin into that it is what's causing the sharp rise.

 

Did somebody actually say that they expect Duke Nukem Forever to be coming out "soon"?

That has to be the most naive thing I've heard in recent memory...

 

hey i know how you feel i figured my diesel bill to be around 10k last year it sucks i get paid millage for my truck but it just barely covers the cost of diesel not oil changes and normal wear and tear on the truck it sucks

 

It's definately rough when fillin up at the pumps. Whether it's diesel or gas. I've resorted to selling almost anything i have that i don't use or dont need anymore. I don't make enough money to afford driving my gasser or my diesel anymore. Freakin oil company theives!!!

 

In this particular case I don't think it is the oil companies doing this . It is the mutual fund companies because it is seen as a good investment. Funny thing is when you buy and sell futures as they do why is that when the futures skyrocket the price at the pump is immediate and then when it calms down the price doesn't?
