Dan,
I hear you, it is getting rediculous.....I don't thinkwith the price of fuel being as high as it is that all the big oil companies should be turning in record earnings...>We are gettin the shaft on the fuel....I work in the oilfield, and shouldn't be complaining too much but it is getting out of hand.....The exxon's and chevron's and all of the big companies shouldn't be having recordearnings if we are in a oil crunch, just my opinion....
You are correct in the fact that it will affect our everyday life, It cost me 100 to fill my truck up right now and our ranch is 5 hours from my house....It cost me 200 just to go to the camp and check out cameras and our feed site's, I have been going every other month in the off season to keep the feed sites from running out of feed.....I might have to try and get bigger feeders, I guess......It surely puts a strain on all thethings we do, next month we are driving to Florida for vacation, the actual vacation isn't going to cost that much but the gas sure will.........

What happened to the cheap oil we were going to get when we liberated the people of Iraq? What a joke(I'm not laughing) that was. The sad thing is they say we aren't changing our driving habits/consumtion to any noticable level. Just wait until the chit hits the fan folks. It's scarey!!

I really think if it gets to a certain point (i.e. $6-$8 gallon), our country will finally do something about it. The problem is, why did we wait and let it get to this point? It will be interesting times, that's for sure.

It will get worse...Then we will do something about it...and we will still pay $3.50 a gallon and think its a bargain!!

If it goes to $7.00 per gal it will cripple the economy. It's already taking it's toll.
The sad part about it all is that it does not have to be this way.
