Fuel cost today

Stopped to pick up some dowels and aluminum plate for some fixtures
I'm building and had passed a BP station that had regular priced at
$1.83 9/10. Decided to fill up on my way home and the price had
changed to $1.78 9/10, 93 octane was $1.95 9/10, (.03¢ off for cash)
sort of like half price day................ ;-))

Makes you wonder what the real price is. Doubt it will stay this low for
long. Some soothsayers are predicting $8.00 per gallon at the end of the 1st
4-years of the Obama administration. I would guess things will level off
around 2.50 or so at some point. But, who knows.

I think it's amazing how gas prices have dropped in the last 6 months just at
the mention of more drilling.
Prices might rise if oil companies no longer receive tax breaks. Oil
companies are choking on their profits while taxpayer Joe is trying
to make ends meet, and is making up for taxes that oil companies don't pay.

Tuesday night San Diego slipped below $2.00/gal.

This morning, I woke to the thunder of big tires
on I-5, over a mile east of my bedroom window.
The SUV & large truck commuters are back on the
road again. That will quickly erode the current
glut of fuel and we'll be back on our way up again.

Today's WSJ arrived with a brochure for private
jet 'gift cards.' $129,500 for ten hours...just
thought you'd like to know.

For their next act in DC, the big-3 CEOs would
do well to fly coach or ride Greyhound.

I'm going to go to town more often, regular down to $1.69 9/10 this
morning.

Got to fill my gas cans for the tractor on the next run.

The retail price of petrol in Finland includes an excise tax of EUR
0.627 a litre. So it would be more correct to say you have high taxes in
Finland.

The tractor has the snow blower on it, cold, and snowing here but not
a big accumulation.

Glad I put the other tires on the C6, still can be a hand full in this
low temperature.

Taxes the oil companies don't pay? If you look at Exxon's P/L
statement for last year, they made $33 billion. And paid almost $66
billion in taxes. Seems as if the governments are scoring large on
oil companies.
