At midnight gas prices were "supposed" to go up here 13 cents a litre...i havent checked outside but last night it was still the same.. I'm sure as soon as they "run out of the old gas" theyll buy the new stuff at the "new price".

You got the largest oil port in the US getting slammed by a hurricane, one tanker full of crude left to Davy Jones, a collapsing dollar 80 to 79 on the usdx and way more to go. Expect fuel prices to go UP for a couple weeks, then DOWN and then WAY WAY WAY UP. As the US dollar collapses you can expect commodities to go through the roof. If you are having trouble spreading your paycheck out now, let me know how yer doin in 6 months....

For a little while yes, never fear we will see 125+ per barrel very soon.
