Since you invited me, I will opine!I believe that all representatives and congressmen that have served over the past twenty years should be convicted of treason and hung by the neck until dead. This would be for their crimes committed against the united states by creating the energy situation that we are in today.With that being said, we must do a few things to start the ball rolling in the right direction. 1) Repeal all laws restricting drilling in ANWR and off of our coasts.2) Build some refineries. Oil is useless without a way to turn it into fuel.3) Embrace nuclear energy. We made a few bad films about Nuclear that devastated the industry.4) Dump the subsidy and mandate for "food to fuel" programs. Admit it was a bad idea.If we embrace some of these ideas, we may see some relief down the road. If not, we won't.I saw yesterday where the House passed a bill allowing us to sue OPEC. That is simply insanity. If anyone should be sued it should be the idiots in Washington.Ok I'm done. I have to go to work now. ;-)(I need to stop and put $150 worth of gas in my Suburban)Jeff

I don't like high fuel prices !! :M:M:W:WEnd of rant and now lets get back out there and go camping !!Thanks...I feel better now !

And fuel will probably get pricier when Congress passes the CLIMATE CHANGE SECURITY ACT.

One other idea is to repeal the laws that require something like 8 or 9 different gasoline formulations depending on where you live in the U.S.

This from the AP wire a few minutes ago:NEW YORK - Oil prices bolted to a new record above $132 a barrel Wednesday after the government reported that supplies of crude oil and gasoline fell unexpectedly last week. And crude's rise in the futures market again pressured consumers by pulling prices at the pump higher — a gallon of regular gas rose overnight to a new record above $3.80 a gallon. In its weekly inventory report, the Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said crude oil inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Gasoline inventories also fell and took the market by surprise.Light, sweet crude for July delivery was up more about $3, rising as high as $132.08 a barrel in late morning trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.At the pump, the average national price of a gallon of regular gas rose 0.7 cent overnight to a record $3.807 a gallon, according to a survey of stations by AAA and the Oil Price Information Service. Prices are 60 cents higher than a year ago, and many forecasters believe they'll hit $4 on a national basis at some point over the next month. Prices are already that high in many parts of the country, and the number of stations charging $4 or more rises each day.Diesel fuel rose 1.9 cents to its own record price of $4.558 a gallon Wednesday. Rising prices of diesel, used to transport most consumer and industrial goods, are sending prices of food and many other goods higher.

was at an electrical supplies place yesterday and they had a sign posted that said that they would add 3% for any order over $250 that was on a credit card.

Once again, no matter what the business model, every business get charged for their customers using a credit card. All businesses pass it along to their customers. They do it in different ways. Some ways you know you are paying it and some ways the fact that you are paying it isn't obvious. Most smart customers realize that they are paying for it just like they are paying for sellers light bill. There is no such thing as a free lunch. They make a lots more money on the inside goods.

I see that oil prices are around $96.xx a barrel. Seems the price drops to around $93.xx. Then goes up to around $97.xx, etc..

Gasoline prices continue to drop around here. $3.34 to $3.39 a gallon so far today. Diesel varies from $3.76 to $3.99 a gallon.

When a customer buys a product with a credit card, the processor charges him a percentage. That percentage is passed on to the customer one way or the other whether he realizes it or not. Most of us realize that. A debit card has a much lower charge back. You thinking you are the only one beating these costs, does not make it so. It can be worked into the price or charged separately like fuel. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

When a customer pays via a credit card, the merchant has to pay a fee, The customer always ends up paying one way or the other. There is no free lunch.

Gasoline has come down another penny to $3.38 at several stations. Geeze, it's going to take forever to get where it was earlier this year.
