well, I have this nagging feeling that this one isn't going to ever get completely back to normal. If oil stays oevr $100 a barrel then things are still going to hurt when you fill up, as well as almost everything else that uses oil or is delivered to market using petrol diesel or anything, why even Bio is up. And the corn production for methanol is screwing up the world food supplies, Inflation is the word!
I look at this as a possible buying opportunity, why don't people with the newer diesels start selling them or donating to charity? they are still asking over $25K for a MB E320-CDI. sheesh we need them to come down to the 5000 buck level guys!
