Leaving for Naples, Fla. in the morning. I am going from Delaware to Fla. so maybe I can coast since it is downhill. Still dependent on oil and still crawling at a snails pace to develop alternative sources. Profits skyrocekting for the big oil companies and the Arabs ride in gold plated Bentleys. Just stay bent over.

I passed an Exxon station today where the price of premium was up to $3.79 per gallon up twenty cents since yesterday? Tell me that the gas in those tanks were based on the hike in crude prices yesterday on the futures market.

Regular went to $3.47 today, premium still at $3.68. I call on this. Supply is not an issue. This is all because the speculators can't shut their mouths.

I realize it's very different where you live.

I just returned from the local Costco out here on the left coast (Orange County). $3.73 for Regular and $3.93 for 91 Premium - the cheapest prices around. I don't use Costco fuel in the S and I will need gas when I drive it this weekend so looks like +- $4.05 for Unocal or Chevron Premium as of 30 minutes ago. Thank goodness it gets 20-25 mpg in normal to spirited driving. It is my "greenest" car.

We hit $3.49 for regular, $3.75 for premium. I sooooooo hope this is temporary. The economy is too fragile for this right now.

I paid $3.99 per gallon in NM for diesel fuel last week, but I only have to refuel once from Houston to Durango. (I don't bring the S to Colorado in the winter time.) Diesel is $3.85 here in the Four Corners now. That's a few cents more than premium fuel.
