And, of course, those that can buy stock in oil will probably do well.

They are afraid of this happening, it was in today's Wall Street Journal.

I would trade your prices any day.

Unfortunately our climate here is not cooperative with riding year round. During summer I commute to work on my motorcycle unless it is pouring rain out. Have gotten caught in downpours plenty of times on the way home. If there is no rain when I leave the house I ride in summer spring and fall. No can do now until all the snow and ice melts.

I own a truck and a Prius. I love them both. It is OPEC that does this to us not the big oil companies. Also government regulations cause our gas to be highly refined which adds dollars to the cost of gas.
I live in America, have gone to war, and spent over 20 years protecting society as a detective and taken an oath on three occasions to protect this country from foreign and domestic enemies as well as the Constitution. These oaths do not have a time limit and I will give everything up to protect my country and the citizens thereof.
I am not in favor of raising any prices. I can not imagine the chaos if gas goes to 10 bucks. I tell you the truth we will catch fire and the streets will run with blood just as it is in the Middle East. God help us...

Did you know that Ford makes a diesel car in Germany that gets all most 100 mpg? Well they do but our government will not allow it here because of the regulations they have on commerce that chokes companies to death.
Washington talks out of both sides of the mouth, it is very sad indeed.

I was in the Army and am a veteran of the Viet Nam era and was a homicide cop for many many years but now retired. I respect all opinions but I suppose I am wore out from being in combat in one form or another my entire life.
LOL I knew better that to get involved in this one.
Many blessings...
