You've got to go to the 76 off the 60 by your work. Filled up there for 4.27 on Wed:D

In no time the price for road fuel will be close to the race fuel from Schied's if it keeps going like this. The little weasel Energy Sec. said it would be $6 soon and it's rolling up there just like he wants it for OPEC etc. Storage is full around the world and they just make us pay instead of opening up our own wells in the lower 48 just for one thing. Bad subject we all know it's a cluster F period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With my fuel discount I build up and using cash I have been paying about 3.99/gal

Using cash saves you about .10/gal at the pump here.

99.9999% reason fuel prices are what they are is due to politics. IF we paid what fuel should cost without people taking dips/cuts/shares/trades/whateveryouwanttocallit fuel cost wouldn't be talked about all the time.

Fuel prices are controlled by speculation.

Fuel future deliveries are bought and sold by investors, and it's investor demand, not actual demand that drives the prices up.

Normally, you need a shortage to see these kinds of price hikes, but there isn't a shortage.

Just pass a law that you must take physical delivery of any fuel futures you purchase. Prices would nose-dive.

That's wack...my parents were in the fuel business for close to 30 years and our pump price was normally within $0.15 and our delivery price even over 6k gallons was within $0.10 of our rack price....there isn't that much of a mark up to be slashing $2. That's called a lost leader.

Everytime the fuel goes up my job gets busier. There enough oil an gas wells down here where I work to fuel this country. It's job security for me.

How can you get Red Fuel so cheap? Basically it's diesel without the taxes! Now I know taxes vary state to state but that is way off.

Home heating fuel is not taxed and one and the same as Red and those prices are $3.70 ish in my area. I'd love to see $2.00 dollar home heating fuel.

Hasn't broke $4 here yet, but its close. I love my truck it will take more then $5 a gal for me to even think of parking it. Probably never happen if I told work I cann't afford to drive my truck they would probably pick up my fuel since I haul tools that are needed on site.
