The only thing jacking up gas prices is the weak dollar and investors investing in commodities like gas and steel. They keep saying gas supplies are abundant, but when the dollar is weak people invest in sure things like gas. Steel prices are getting rediculous as well, if the dollar ever picks up again copared to the Euro then gas prices will fall back down to $60 a barrel.

I haven't noticed us changing our driving habits much yet though. Everyday I still get passed on the highway by some jagoff doing 85 mph in his F-350 dually hauling nothing but his own butt. It's still a race from every stoplight to get to the next stoplight. Reduce demand....reduce price (I hope).

$3.84 here today in lovely Salem, Oregon. Last Friday I had my trucking company that I use to run to Southern California call me and notify me he was shutting down 3 of his 6 trucks due to the cost of fuel. That's a loss of 6k a week. As of yesterday there were 55 trucking companies that closed shop on the West Coast. Another vendor came to visit yesterday and showed up in a new Honda Accord. I asked him where his big Ford Expedition was and he had sold it. He put 4k in miles on it in...

We were also sitting around discussing the price of fuel this year vs last summer. Depending on where fuel is purchased, diesel is now at $4.15 compared to $3.69 last summer. So...if the price ends up at $1.00 more/gallon this year than last and our round trip is 120 miles, the Duramax gets 12/mi/gal towing, it will cost $10 more per night of racing than before. If we really can't race due to a $10 increase in towing cost, we probably shouldn't have been racing at the old $3.69/gal...

Who the hell said the president set the gas prices him self,it's big money oil people who set the price.I think he fit's that picture.Far as consumption,I sure I'm doing my part by not hauling all over gods creation racing this year.

"Who do think funds the government,don't forget that the president is a oil man!" Waldo16

This is one of the stupidest things I have ever read on this forum. If you think the President sets the price of gasoline you are not thinking logically. You set the price by going to the pump all the time. The weak dollar as a little bit to do with it right now as well but mostly you and everyone else not curving their consumption. Please use your head.

Just found this on MSN, The highest payed, now retired CEO'S -

No. 1: Former ExxonMobil boss Lee Raymond. Total retirement take: $351 million.

Given the strength in energy stocks since 2000, it probably comes as no surprise that the richest golden goodbye this millennium went to Lee Raymond, who retired as CEO of ExxonMobil (

Anyone, such as Red Apple, Quick Fill, Citgo, or any that are supplied by United Refining, The Majority of their oil comes from the Canada Pipeline.

I saw this somewhere and although it may just be another stupid chain letter type deal I dont see why this wouldnt work. Heres the writeup just to read if nothing else.

Remember if we all get together on this it will work!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' GAS FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET GAS BACK DOWN TO $1.30 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his engineer buddies...

It is definitely hurting alot of us. I had every intention this year of trying to follow the entire UEMS schedule. Unfortunately do to gas prices, it is gonna be hit and miss depending on when i have the extra money to make the haul. Really sucks, the gov. keeps complaining bout the economy, but yet they continue to allow us to get gouged by these companies making billions!
