When Big Erl jumped prices over $3 and people were lined up at the pumps flipping off and horning each other to get it at $2.999, he took our measure. Now, when it drops back to the pre-Katrina high of $2.289 (that sudden jump from $1.899 that originally had us bitchin') everyone now in labrat mode breathes a big sigh of relief. The honchos up on the 123rd floor of the Exxon Palace have their feet up on their desks, and are tipped back in their leather chairs lighting up Monte Cristos.
Everyone overlooked that Martha Stewart lost her appeal.... as good a reason as any in my book. Anyone got any idea just how high they can raise the bar before they have to level off? Here's a tip....a maintenance mechanic in my department just paid cash for a new Hummer.

Can someone give me any justification other than greed/gouging for diesel prices being linked with gasoline pricing? Post Katrina, we experienced gasoline shortages; some places ran completely out, but diesel was always available. Gas prices go up, diesel follows; gas prices drop, diesel prices hang and are slow to follow.

They come from the same source is a good start for why the prices are linked. and as for post katrina not running out of diesel there were plenty of areas that ran out of diesel on & offroad diesel. Many southern states permitted the use of dyed offroad fuel to help compensate for the low supply however you still had to pay the road taxes. I can say that there were plenty of stations that were out of Diesel for far longer than they were out of Unleaded.

I'm goin' with powerboatr on this one. I'm up here near the big cornfield with lights, not a southren state....a multi-pipeline termination point and Switz City is 21 miles from my house. Gasoline went up to $2.499 (from $2.299) Thursday and diesel followed to $2.509 (from $2.349). Gasoline went back down today to $2.349 and diesel has remained the same.
Sure will be glad when you southreners get all your ducks in a row and cut back on the demand so that fuel prices up here will settle into some semblance of sanity. Ain't no more demand up here than usual. In fact, if we go by Ford truck sales, my buddy down at the local dealership said they haven't sold a PSD since I bought mine....at the take it or leave it price I offered them.
BTW....wife and I both chose the Super Duty today as our grocery-getter. I'll never be able to figure this broad out.
