Too frustrating to look at the gas prices.  Just gotta pay it I guess.  I've pretty much Parked my Cummins Diesel Truck because of the fuel prices.  Drive around a car all day now (Unless I can sneak the Mrs Truck away from her   )
I do monitor the NYMEX daily now though to see what a barrel of oil is doing. Been going down lately....as long as it keeps going down I'm good with that. Now if the gas stations would make it go down it would be great.

And why is it that gas prices go up immediately when the cost of oil goes up, but when the cost of oil goes down the gas prices are VERY slow to come down? Anybody got an answer for that one other than the oil companies announced last week their biggest quarterly profit ever???

I caught my youngest son stealing $$ from me a few months ago, so I took away his 1995 Pontiac Grand Prix which was still registered in my name, and is now my work vehicle. 26mpg with gas sure beats the hell out of 10mpg on Diesel
