Now i know that its 80 dolars a barral, but come on is that just the oil companys pulling there money out of the stocks to make it jump that high, just because they can. I mean theres not to many products if any that the price is determand day to day hour by hour by the stock market. Ok hurricains or not this is just B.S. $3.16 a gallon and prob will go higher, come on now. I might be a company driver but i work for a guy that has a two truck opp. and get percentage of the load. Hell its like im a o/o out here.I just dont get it anymore. Just my rant.

What continues to confuse me on this subject is the fact that oil is $80/barrel and rising yet gas prices continue to fall...at least in the Kansas City area. I paid $2.53/gallon last night. It seems that the price of gas should skyrocket to match the cost of oil, at least if all the theories and causes we've been told over the past years are accurate. But, alas, there's no rhyme or reason that I can find. I guess this is just another affect of having a president (and vice president) so closely tied to the oil industry.

It never get's easier, you only go faster.

I just got back from Canada last week and I paid $4.68 a gallon. The part that sucks is that the company was only paying the west coast standard surcharge not the extra it cost to run up there. I no longer run up there. Be prepared for the price to double when we hit Iran. Don't think that isn't going to happen! I am paying off my debt and saving my money in gold not stocks, or paper. I won't be rich but I'll be able to last a year. Fuel is a game for the rich to play with to keep us from getting any real power. By the way it's 100 bucks a barrel.
