$3.79 down here in the sunny south for regular unleaded. I think diesel was $4.69 but I am not positive on that.
But, do not worry Mr. Obama was down here today and said that everything would be great in about 6 months if he has his way. Funny thing was he didn't say how he was going to do it but he did mention the word change 7 or 8 thousand times!

Most of this increase is being driven by investors/speculators betting on the price going up. The current supplies are no different then they were a couple years ago or at least are very close. The prices can come back down if the speculators see that there is more production coming out of any source.
America needs to get off the fence and drill more and in new places as well as develop a new refinery. Hell, even the threat of it may drive down prices.
Not trying to pick a fight but the democrats in Washington are really hurting the chances of this happening. They are in control (contrary to popular opinion) and need to act sooner than later to solve this problem! Nancy Pelosi got elected saying that she would bring energy reform to solve the problem has really done diddly!

and everytime the fed cuts interest rates the dollar gets weaker and that means it takes more dollars to buy the black gold

4.95 for diesel in my truck, 188 bucks a tank. Man its rough, going to be real rough when I start trapping and hunting. Last year I was burning 1/2 tank daily running a trap line, this year i will be running hounds and trapping. SCARY!!!.

Although, I am ordering a biodiesel machine next month, so it should help alot. A family in town makes theirs and its running 1.35 a gallon to make, free oil. I can handle that any day of the week!!

I`m for the wars because USA has allways been there in those times for freedom, course oil just seams too be there too ? hummmm..! But the troups are doen good and spilling blood and getting blood spilled for the world and for freedom and I`ve raised a son and had other sons who went into the servise and am proud of all americans who serve .
But this oil thing is because a very few wealthy wealthy oil magginates are more greedy and they don`t care about a oil spill and destroyingthe depth of the alantic or the pacific and point fingers at other nations drilling/ hey no one owns the right too pulute the seas if you believe in those giant waves that go 500 mph and stand 100-250 ft high comeing accrost the oceans you know then no oil rigg, no land mass is going too be safe if its in the ocean, or within 100 miles of the water !And eart quakes/ lord the west coast from san Diago too and includeing Alaska is all fault lines and they too take out oil wells. We need too find another fuiel source like bio and forget oil !
The promisses for the border fence, too stop orginized crime comeing in with drugs too our country, too lower gasoilne prices, too stop a war we can`t just say ok we quite like in Nam/hell these people are globel and spredding more and more .
Just what promisses wiill any of em keep if elected/ oh lets see ah maybe all states reconize gay and lezzbian mariages, leagle killing unborn babys will be ok too and the oil co`s owners will get what they wanted and they will also have the federal government substadize the failed bank loans on morguages and maybe devalueate the US Dollar down too about 10 cents in total worth !That means if ya really want to be a millionare youll have too have 10,000,000.00 to be a million dollars worth of real moneys. Guess what
minumium wage in 2 yrs will be around 7.25 and the homes that sold for 600,000.00 which was only 89,000.00 homes to begin with will loose owners to default payments ! So now oil will jump in 2 years too 7-8 bucks a gal and be cautioned too look at it headed too $ 10.00 agal./ ya think ?
WAIT A MINUTE the dollar is allready worth 10 cents, oh sh34vthat means my projects are rite here around the corner after the elections and the winners will write it off as inherited too them when took over and just have too face it and thats how it goes ! Either side wins that the tune goen too be played/ no wounder they didn`t want an honest guy and the flat sales tax that Mike Huckabee wanted for us/ hell itstops the greeseing of the wheels alltogether Q? Well I`ll be diped ?!

Melanie Hampton · Post by **Melanie Hampton** » Fri May 23, 2008 6:14 pm

We hit $3.99 for gas yesterday.. The newspaper reports it is as high as $4.15 in the local area...

I don't have a clue was diesel is.. Over $4.50 last time I checked.. I think it is closer to $4.69 now..

I had read something in our local paper.. Got to love being able to comment about it.. Said we are finally catching up with the rest of the world.. Now I don't know about all places... but I know when we were in Africa.. Petrol was over $5.00 a gallon... but even their trucks were getting about 40 mpg (once we figured it from kpg) cars... even more..

I can remember a studyclass in high school back in 63 and we were talking about regulare costing .17 cents, ethil .19 cents and premium .21 cents and we talked about how our parents in the midd 50`s was paueing per gal. .12 cnts 13 cnts. and 15 cents. and what a big differance it has made say fom 1955-1963 ! LOL ! Then the next day our teacher brought a artical on petrill in London Eng and it was all most $ 2.00 a gal ! LOL we started laughfen and said them guys are crazzy ! We`d never pay that here ! Mr. Zauhl our teacher said yes you would and one day youll be paying $ 1.00 a gal. here in the states because America is way behind the rest of the world on the costs of fuiel at the pumps ! We sure didn`t believe that ole mess/ WELL WE SURE SHOULD OF !!?

$6.21 a canuk gallon here, with diesel about 40 cents more. Yes, it hurts.

The way I see it.......it's been a well planned conspiracy to extract yet more $$ from our pockets.
