...when fuel was cheaper.

Heheh. I was startled a bit ... reading the title of the thread.

There is a Citgo station off the highway where I always exit. They always have the cheapest diesel too. Until yesterday I saw $2.65 I almost had a heart attack!
Luckily I was on my motorcycle getting 40+ mpg.

I'm hoping the Sunoco stations around town will have it cheaper. They usually have the lowest prices anyway.

P.S. I'm pretty sure those super tankers can get closer to Houston.

3.09 to 3.12 here in Southern Cal.

Unfortunately, when you look back on these prices in several months, you'll think 3.09 was a deal!

2.65 is the highest i have seen aro here.

Remeber when diesel was only $3?

I paid $2.64 yesterday and that is about the cheapist around. I am looking forward to the fall, I bet it goes over $3 a gallon.

I think fuel prices have peaked

Take a look at the age of this thread....I just brought it back for the sake of memory.

Yep...the same old trick they use over and over again.

They spike the price up $0.30 to $0.40 and everyone starts screaming.
Then they lower it back $0.10 to $0.15 and everyone sigs in relief. People are too stupid to wonder where the other 25 cents went?
When I first moved to Florida about 5 years ago RUG was $0.99 a gallon. Now it's now it's over $2.00.
How do they get away with that??

Because there is no type of investigation at present to determine if price gouging is occuring. Why is it one station will have diesel for $2.75 and 5 miles away it's $2.39? same thing...they can get away with it!!!

If a foreign power were forcing our gas prices to double, we would invade them. We now have control of Iraq - blah blah blah, we do. And the public is paying more for the oil that we are pumping, and the public is paying for rebuilding the country. Where is the oil money going?

Here's a hint... Two oil men are in the head executive positions of this country.

Again, I say that if a foreign power were forcing our gas prices to double, we would invade them. This country elected them twice.

Makes me want to

They have betrayed a sacred trust entered into by all members of the millitary. They are traitors who are killing Americans for their profit.

Who is "they?"

Isn't the price of fuel set by supply and demand?
