Fuel/Gas Prices

[shooter]

Not only that David but most of my part as suppliers charge a gas surcharge , and they haven't gone down. Two of my tire suppliers and one parts supplier charge between 3 and 5 bucks daily. I sell welding gasses and other types of gas. Between hazmat and fuel surcharges its about 3 dollars a tank. These guys are getting rich on surcharges.

Banks have subsidized oil, gas, coal and other energy exploration. The banks are taking the biggest hit right now, causing the monetary value hit equivalent in the stick market.
Self sustained energy, glut in supply and Iraq are just adding to the negative side of the equation. Futures have also over invested months back, so that investment is also trying to become whole.. China just adds confusion to the market picture.

Can anybody remember what we were paying for gas the last time crude was selling for $27.00 a barrel? You know before the Bush administration declared a crude shortage. Seems to me it was under $1.00 a gallon. So why are we now paying 30% more under Obama? Seems we can't win when the game is rigged by the Gods of Washington.

I have noticed though, the Russians are upset as their oil based economy is faltering Yugoslavia and the Arabs are losing their ability to buy munitions. HMMMMM sounds like a good plan to me!

I might even change the oil in my bike this month!

This could be due to the devalued dollar...What ever the reason or who is behind it...it's getting ready to BLOW !!!!!!

Gas is still right around 2.00 a gallon here in Northern Nevada but we do have higher gas tax then a lot of states-good news is they use it to keep our roads in really great condition.You can always tell when you cross into California from Nevada as your suspension really starts to work hard.With the stock market doing what the media calls a readjustment LOL.What is going to get hit hard is public pension funds which need those investments to keep up with all the projected costs.Wait till states and citys start cutting back on retirees $'s.Let the crying begin.But the 1% keep paying themselves no matter what the economic climate-CEO of JP Morgan just gave himself a 35% raise to 27 million while his company laid off 6700 middle class jobs in 2015.Wonder if he is worried about fuel prices for his private jet or Bentley!

IL has the highest fuel taxes in the nation but it doesn't help our roads, our politicians steal it all. Our last 2 governors were in prison at the same time but final one of them got out. Our last one is in his 2nd year of an 14 year sentence

You've got a president that should be in the same cell with him.

Indiana is worse, they are now talking about passing a wheel tax. Right now I have 18 wheels in my garage and may have to think about selling a vehicle or two if this crappy law passes.

We use one supplier as little as possible for this reason shooter. They added the gas surcharge when it was around $4 a gallon and never took it off. They're the only ones that show it as a line item. Pretty dumb if you ask me. At least take it off and add a couple bucks to the tire. It's ATD ( American Tire Distributors ) Not sure if you use them. I believe they're nationwide.
