[Groveite]

It is painful here in Sarnia where some of that fuel is produced....1.02/L regular with the diesel around .95 ...On my way over the bridge to get my diesel at (US$)2.34 I saw several tankers (1203 cards tell me gasoline) heading to Mi from our refineries here....hmmmm.. What's wrong in this picture?

stock exchange money traders!!!

& who do you think pays for the campaign costs of our elected officials?

[Novi]

your right LK it is greed. "They" ?? take advantage of any percieved circumstances real or imagined to up the price it seems.

[Little Kopit]

& increased fuel prices put money $ in government coffers. .

They finally have the March 8, automotive fuel order up. Diesel is about 9 cents per litre less!!!

More pain at the gas pumps Average U.S. retail gasoline prices have risen 20 cents to $2.55 a gallon, and demand could rise further in coming weeks as daylight savings time gives Americans more time to drive, an industry analyst says. The price of gas was the highest since September but fell well short of August's record of $3.03 a gallon, according to the nationwide Lundberg survey of about 7,000 gas stations.

I am now convinced that earlier DST combined with a measureable reduction in the use of manual typewriters both here and in the US will result in the major oil companies having to raise the price of fuel just to avoid going out of business!!

That's better than the fingernail hitting the wrong key at the stock exchange.

How long since you saw a manual typewriter?

Gas hit $2.61/USgal. here this past weekend. It was race weekend here in Sebring and prices always go up then. Plus Highlands county is usually the highest county. I seen to be able to smell out the highest prices.

Give us some tips, eh!

[Novi]

Well LK it takes no talent, just travel during March break or some other holiday like Christmas, or a long weekend.

[Little Kopit]

But how do you decide to stop at the place with a higher price than the one before or the one after?

[Novi]

I don't hunt for the one that is 1/10 of a cent less. If I need gas I get it at the closest one I can get into with the rig and car in tow. The money saved by getting the lowest price is an illusion, I don't think one saves all that much. Then you go and spend it on something else anyway. I think it was Jimmy Durante ?? that said what you save on the tomatoes you spend on the cabbage. In the long run it makes little difference to anything.
