Fuel

[Big Zig]

I get this feeling I'll be telling my children, "I remember when gas was $1.59 a gallon."

The petroleum industry knows that we will pay the kind of money we have been for their product the last year. It may never come back to the level it was............................I'm sure fuel prices will come down, but not where they were 3-4 years ago.

What's the solution? Hybrids?
What's next? Increased energy bills?
Anyone else see a "crash and burn" in the economy in the next 10 years?



We used to budget $20.00 a week for fuel in my vehicle. That would get me to and from work, a couple fishing trips a week, and some "chore" driving.
It just cost me $43.57 to fill the tank up....................................

I think what most people can do is remember this the next time they go to the ballot box.

I don't think it's a mystery why we are paying so much for fuel these days.

But mostly people don't want to touch on the subject. Just have to ask the question..."Are we better off than we were six years ago?"

What's happening in this country is a damn crime but no one has the balls to stand up and say it's enough for fear they will come accross as unpatrotic or some nonsense.

My Wife works at a country store her sister rents it from a small oil company that gets their fuel from hunt oil. When they send the fuel invoice sheet, It shows the price that hunt charged the small oil company, .93 cents per gal.The small oil company adds 100 percent. .93 cents, Then the State-county-city Taxes are added .48 cents per gal. so that's... 93+93+48=$2.34 cents a gallon. and out of that her sister makes .03 cents a gal. She pumps at the most 5000 gal a month that's $150.00. it dont even pay the power bill to run it that's my thought's

I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER. MY GUESS IS THE BUBBAS AIN'T BEEN SCREWED HARD ENOUGHT OR LONG ENOUGHT FOR ANY COMMON SENSE TO WORK IT'S WAY INTO THEIR BRAINS. I HOPE THEIR BRAINS GET WORKING BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE FOR ALL OF US. JUST STOP AND THINK WHAT EVENTS LEAD TO THE PRICE OF FUEL TODAY. IT SURE AIN'T HARD TO FIGURE OUT IF YOU HAVE A FUNCTIONING BRAIN AND COMMON SENSE.

...that WE all wise up. and get it correct in 2008......vote on facts and performance ......not fear of change and smear tactics.....

[J White]

I do hope you mean by getting it correct, voting for who we think best
represents our values and principles... I know I did, and will continue to
do so. And though it is sometimes a bitter pill to swallow, deal with the
results when it doesn't go the way we think it should.

[KARL]

[J White]

J. White, I hear you, I think the price of gas would be way down the list on what's important to me and my country.
