For years now we keep getting a variety of reasons why the price for a barrel of oil had gone up, intability in middle east, hurricane in the gulf, the weak dollar, the infected toe of some camel on the Arabian penninsula..... it all comes back to the market.

I saw on the Ch 4 news this morning that a number of trucks rolled thru what I thought was DC. I was busy, didn't catch the whole thing.

Diesel is almost the same as home heating oil (you could burn diesel at home or home oil in your diesel) Isn't hard to figure out that big oil companies are out to screw us all.
