i'll tell ya....
i saw this guy....i think it was in italy ok
it was a tv special on alternate fuels...
he was a sunflower seed grower.... and had a huge press.
he had these simple wire mesh cones like a fat
ice cream cone shape...
with a coffee filter liner...->
in them to filter the impurities out of the sunflower seed oil.
they were everywhere !! drip drip dripping into funnels that
had cheap hoses and gallon jugs underneath....

Cheaper across the bridge than in Buzzards Bay--Exxon at the rotary was $2.49 last night.
The Thursday before President's Day it had gone down to $2.19 at that station--$2.13 farther down Main Street.
Up 30 cents in two weeks--why?--because they can  |

We own an oil-producing middle eastern country, and can't even take advantage of that? If we're going to have an unjustified invasion and abuse our military strength, they should at least give us decent gas prices.

This could be more true than we think. These oil companies have seen that the people WILL pay it. Moan and groan we might, but they laugh all the way to the bank. |

I saw $2.98 a gallon for diesel on the way home last nite I almost crapped. That's .35 a gallon more than I been paying.
Last month it was widely publicized that the futures contracts for fuel were running down for the entire month of march...tell me they're not raping us now. JERKS.  |

I started keeping a log after getting a used Expedition - in 1.5 months $289 - it is killing me to pay that much. I was driving a Jetta that got 30 MPG. I have to keep thinking that the repair costs to the Jetta would offset the gas savings.
Date Gallons Miles ~ MPG Cost Price Note
01/25/07 18.7 235 12.57 $40.00 $2.14
01/31/07 21.1 265 12.56 $46.00 $2.18 36PSI tires
02/07/07 11.7 156 13.33 $25.00 $2.14 Air Filter
02/12/07 14.0 185 13.21 $30.00 $2.14
02/18/07 14.2 190 13.35 $31.00 $2.18
02/22/07 12.2 195 15.98 $27.00 $2.21 1/2 HW Miles
02/24/07 8.8 120 13.71 $20.00 $2.27
02/28/07 12.7 160 12.60 $30.00 $2.37
03/05/07 16.4 0.00 $40.00 $2.43
I am sure it will be up over $3.00 before we know it. They will blame increased demand with the upcoming summer travel season coming up, Middle East tension, etc.

i just read that daylight savings time will increase gas prices because people will be driving more with more daylight.  |

secondly
right off CNN this morning .....
an interview with Goldsmith's garage who just quit
selling gasoline because it was costing them
$1000.00 per month.
he said: the gas delivery was costing him
more per gallon than what you could buy it retail for. 
So now ........... he's just a service station. |

 Exxon is shoving it  !!!!!!!!!!!
Bassturbed said we were in for a downswing because of oversupply. This is the first time that I know Bassturb was wrong.  |

um, that's not necessarily what i said.
oil did briefly go down to $49 bbl on supply concerns ... but then rallied back up when the really cold winter weather hit.
if you've been watching OPEC lately, they have been cutting back production because they want to see crude in a trading range of $55-$65 /bbl.
anyways, gas prices always tick up before the summer driving season, because that's when gasoline demand peaks.
this uptick is being exacerbated by the #^&#^&#^&#^&heads in Iran. |

If it makes you feel any better, jet fuel in Boston was over $6 a gallon a while back.

iran can try to interfere with the strait of hamuz where 40% of the oil gets exported from...or just quit selling oil for a time...
not to mention that supposedly chavez in venezula will quit supplying usa with oil if we attack iran .... he's on their team.
in either of those scenario's ..... gas will hit $4.00 per gallon and up
