the price of oel went from 111 dollars to 104 in one night, maybe there is hope. But ****ty stations will just keep the price high becuase they can and make more profit. Bull****

It's kind of ironic that all of the big "American" beer companies were started by German immigrants (Busch/Budweiser, Miller, Coors, Pabst, Schlitz, Hamms, etc.) who came here to brew their style beer yet are generally poo-poo'd by beer afficianados.

I wonder if the beer has changed over the centuries? Was Schlitz in the late 1800's THE beer to drink or was it the novelty?

The price of fuel here, like everywhere, just keeps climbing, and is quite a bit more than gas.

I've seen diesel at one garage today for $1.375c/l, which converted to US gallon is about $5.20. Nice stuff. If it ever hits $1.44 a liter, I'm switching to new canola oil, cause it would then be cheaper....until the higher price of diesel causes the shipping price to go up, which will cause the price of cooking oil to go up....which will cause my blood pressure to go up, and my money to go down.

I think this is going to be a loosing battle. I can't really think of anything that isn't shipped by truck at some point.

$3.92 in Williamsburg, VA.

I blame the EPA for instituting ULSD. Prices have risen steadily since then.

Hopefully, with everything warming up, the drop in heating oil demand will increase diesel supply.

Hatterasguy · #98 03-17-2008, 09:31 PM

$4.12 now. Since the SDL is still in storage and I won't start to drive it everyday for a few weeks, I probably won't need to put fuel in it until almost May. Hopefull its down a bit by than.

Hatterasguy,

I was born and raised in Milford, CT..

I really think we may see $5.00 before we see $4.00 a gallon. I think this summer could be rough..I really hope I am wrong here.

miljohnj5 · #**100** 03-17-2008, 10:12 PM

$4.25 today with my daily commute to college of 150 miles per day = ouch.

Milk continues to rise every day....when will it end?

unkl300d · #**102** 03-17-2008, 10:19 PM

Yup in SF its about $4.11 to $4.24 and going up.
I read that the diesel squeeze will continue because automakers are introducing new diesel models into the US market and that will increase demand for diesel. There were other issues also. Some refinery factors etc.
Heck even the stuff that makes up biodiesel has gone up in cost.

Have to figure on elbo grease and hair grease for alternate fuel.

Didn't an american company steal the name Budweiser and there is still litigation over the use of it in america?
