I saw the price of retail diesel shoot up right with the news of $100/barrel oil the past couple of days. It doesn't make me happy, but I know it isn't gouging.

I am aware of the concept, however, I know most people are not, so why lose out on the cheaper fuel? Its going to go up whether or not I fill up. And its not like I went there to "top off" I did need over half a tank, and happened to be going past the station, which I won't be again for a while. (its out of the way, so I go to it when I happen to be going by)
