Having said that $3 a gallon fuel is here to stay, demand is up and rising. However rising demand doesn't account for the rapid price changes. The rapid day to day changes are caused by speculators. Diesel rose $.10 yesterday to $3.97!

I filled up yesterday at $3.99.9; passed a station where it was $4.08.9. Hard to believe it cost me $50.00 to fill the baby benz.

$4.00even at 80% of the stations here in Sacramento ...and in the bay area biodiesel is always MORE and you dont get as many miles out of the same amount of bio as you do dyno diesel...another reason i HATE biodiesel and veggie oil.......as long as a diesel motor gets more miles per gallon then a comparable gas motor i dont care about the price as long as i dont have to change a per-filter every 100 miles or so and worry if i got my mix right ya know?
as long as it dont break 5.15 a gallon i really dont care and im freaking dirt poor right now ,but people dont understand 3 years ago one gallon of gas in russia was $10US dollars.....england laughs that we think we have it bad and of couse the rest of the world......the saudi's have it cheap but i dont hate them for having something we dont ...they are lucky in that one respect compared to the rest of the world....so why take it from them i mean **** they live in sand people (yes joking guys not really) but to the red necks out there you all know thats what they think...LOL so come on guys keep searching for the cheap station in town and keep writting letters to the oil companies while driving less then you need to coz thats whats gonna make an impact...no killing your benz trying to see how long it wil run on veggie oil.....its a MERCEDES BENZ not grandpa's tracktor you use to run chicken fat ,used oil and tranny fluid in.

You might remember when commodities such as sugar, coffee, and silver skyrocketed for nearly a year or so. This was due to manipulation. It was certainly not due to additional demand. Yes, there is additional demand.............but certainly nowhere near enough demand to double the price per barrel in one year. Speculators are manipulating these prices............without a shadow of a doubt. |

And remember, when crud oil doubles, fuel (pump) prices double, even though the cost of distillation, transportation, distribution, etc., etc. does not, ... so the margin and profits more than double. The gasoline/diesel companies love higher oil prices.

It may not mean they are, but it certainly makes them appear that way. Typing in a professional manner goes a LONG way for your general credibility.

I filled my 1981 300D for $3.90/ today. Yea, the sign read 3.899/ but lets ditch this @#$%!@#$^% $0.009 in the price and call it what it is! I don't see any money denominations in $0.001.

Well, this afternoon our local Bio Diesel station is now $3.97, and the rag head on the other corner is $4.09. first I have seen Diesel this high in the Santa Cruz area.
On the way back home, the Talaban station here in Soquel was $3.99, and today he is up to $4.13. early part of last week the news listed a station in Red Wood City, Ca. as being $4.39 for premium gas. won`t be too long before we see $5.00 fuel. I was figuring $4.00 by summer, but damn spring isn`t here yet. I was betting $5.00 by next summer, but the way it is going, maybe by fall. Charlie
