One wonders what's up with that.

Supply and demand.  Winter blend gas has ethanol, and stocks are lowering because refining capabilities are geared more towards diesel/heating oil.

Same thing every year.  It's gone from 1.45 to 1.72 here.  Expect over 2.00 by April.

but 25 cent increase in 12 hours?  At this point in the winter, those increased costs for winter blends should be factored in already.  I agree with frank, something's up with that.

2 weeks ago the cheapest place around was $1.34/9 ...sunday it was $1.64/9....I didn't look this morning.

....but with Nancy and the dims on the job now I'm sure it will go a lot higher .....just so they'll have an excuse to nationalize it.

Fear.

The cost of crude oil has dropped while the cost of gas has slowly risen here.  $1.79 at most stations.

I noticed the gas only slightly.  But I was really watching the stock market tumble as we all patted O on the back and acting like he is the savior of the world.

big Banks getting the bailout money are buying Oil Futures Stocks for an 8 fold return ...already ... more bailout recipients & independently wealthy investors will follow & of coure, obama  will hvae no choice but to 'nationlize' oil to stop the 'gouging' ...

say goodbye  to america my friends...

we are going down, just like the soviets did ...

our current government, republicans & demorats alike  are now officially socialists & continue to print/borrow  money  just to redistribute to massive corporate &/or political entities that will cause massive hyperinflation / poverty in this country ...

this will not be stopped w/out total collapse  of the 'the government' &/or  god forbid, a full scale revolution like we saw in 1776 ....

god help us all...

stock up on food / water & of course, I don't need to tell you guys to stock up on ammo ...

the collapse is near, no amount of Obama money will keep the masses at bay because more & more people will be unemployed, starving & homeless every week as hyper inflation kicks in...

Damn, John C., esteemed colleague and sir, sir.

I've been worried, because you hadn't been around.

In fact, the past several days, I've posted things in the sports forum and the fight club (dealing with sports), to see if you might come out, as you've been missed.

It's good to see you again, but this was, uh, the last place I'd expect it.

hey frank...

I've been battening down the hatches  trying to recover from  what scumbag outfits like American Express have done to me the past 2 months...

heres whats going on in the world of business...

banks have been cutting off business accounts left and right...either putting limits on American express gold cards,  revolving accounts, lines of credit  & /or cutting them off...

mind you WITHOUT WARNING...so  if you're a biz that had a million dollars out that you expected your line of credit to pay for next month, and now its gone,  that biz will most likely not be able to pay that money to everyone it owes...

this has drained  capitol from business, especially business w/ limited or NO capitol or  no stacks of cash sitting around ..

which means just about everyone, cause what biz actually has stacks of money sitting around ??...because that would be considered PROFITS &  they'd be getting the crapola taxed out of them by DC ...

without credit, most business & therefore JOBS in this country are gonna be gone by the end of this year ....

glad  the righties love walmart, cause they're gonna be about the only ones left in a couple years...and of course, Taco Bell....

of course, there is always the internet, which ain't taxed & 1/2 the stuff being sold online  in this country is coming from outside of the US,  but that  won't do the economy much good...

this is planned , this is no accident....

a grand consolidation of power (the economy) is going now, the likes this country hasn't seen since the great depression or the civil war

Where I live, gas has gone from $1.69 during first week or so January, to $1.79 last week, to $1.89 a couple of days ago.

Even though light sweet crude is hovering around $40 per barrel, I've read that the petrol companies are raising prices now to that there won't be a huge raise in the spring/summer.

Eats the big radish, doesn't it.
