#3 Sock, I am glad I am not the only one out there using premium. At around $2.50 in some urban locations what will the price be by News Years Day? That is if the current energy market trending extends itself into late December.  Fill her up Joe, with high test. |

| #2 I paid 2.49 for premium Wed. That means it's 2.53 today I would bet. But what do you expect from a whiney Democrat from Virginia? Wake up folks cheap energy is going to be a thing of the past unless we start using something other than oil based transportation. |

| #1 But with gasoline near $2 a gallon and home-heating costs on the rise, the 29-year-old resident of Fredericksburg, Va., says there's less money for food, clothing and entertainment - which nowadays means a trip to Blockbuster, not the local movie theater. Please. The cheapest regular unleaded gas here in my neck of the woods is about $2.20/gal. P/U is even higher than that (close to $2.50/gal). Being near $2/gal (most likely under that) is a bargain as far as I'm concerned. Now if only the finances of oil traders could be administered a sizable little shock.... |
