A little birdie just told me that fuel prices are set to skyrocket over night on the news that oil had a record increase (the record rise in oil prices was on the news that oil prices fell). The oil increase really only gains back the dip from earlies in the week (which did not result in lower gas prices) plus a $4 (to 139.12). So oil is 3% above it's previous record... so prices will rise 3% right? Right!
Bah!
This was partly to let you know to fill up tonight if you sweat the small stuff and partly to complain about fuel prices. I know it is both preaching the choir and like peeing in the ocean (you agree, but it will do not good)... but now I've vented.
The rumor was diesel up 30 cents per gallon tomorrow. If you drive something with a 15 gallon tank fill up tonight and use the extra $5 to go to happy hour.

PS. It is interesting to note that every time oil goes up the dollar goes down. Every non-dollar country therefor saves money on oil. Our gift to the world. [
