Folks,

I am sure some of you have heard that gas is going to be going up again, and has already started. Just saw our local pump go from $1.53, right up to $1.69 per gallon.

Riding bikes (or horses) is looking better every day.

Has it affected you yet?

Hi Chet,

Same here that is going to be up over $2.00 very shortly. Okay, so those of us out of work, and looking for work, won't be able to afford to drive to our interviews... that is if we get an interview.

It makes no sense does it? Yesterday oil droped 6.00 a barrel the biggest drop in 7 years and today another .93 cents :shock: to reach 41.50 a barrel and inventories went up four times higher then they thought it would. Also use went down more then projected so who knows.

The gas-man sticking it to us again. Lets see what the next 4-8 years has in store for us. I am going to laugh my butt off when Exxon or another big oil company asks the Government for a bailout. If I did not live so far from my job I'd ride my bicycle.

I don't think gas would have gone down at all if the banks hadn't decided to rob us at the same time...

Since I started this post gas was $1.69... now jumped to $1.77 and climbing. Gee, I hope I can afford to fill up my car so I can go out to look for a job... oh wait, there are no jobs right now... no one is hiring... they are laying everyone off!!

Its just the nature of things. What goes up, must, or hopefully, will come down...What goes down, will most likely go back up at some point...

Tankers are sitting off the coast waiting for the oil prices to rise:

My vehicle requires premium fuel, which went from $1.79 the last time I filled up to $2.09 yesterday. I'm guessin' we'll see $4.00 by spring.
