I'm surprised the the trucking industry hasn't stepped in on the rising cost of fuel...

As ILNC has stated..everything else also rises, eggs have almost doubled in a year !!!!!!

Thumbs down Why Exxon won't produce more oil......

It's all about $$$$$$$

"The energy giant is being managed to benefit shareholders, not consumers. Less supply of crude oil means higher prices -- and record profits".

I ride my motorcycle most of the time, I used to ride just because I enjoy it but now the mileage is a factor, I paid $3.59 for regular so $4.00 isin't far away. Some of my co-workers are riding motorcycles now also. It's a mess.

I just paid 3.15 this morning for gas. When I first brought my car it took about 16.00 to fill it up, now it takes 30.00 to fill up if I'm on a quarter of a tank.

I received an email from a friend yesterday that suggested that if everybody was to stop purchasing their gas from Exxon, Shell, and Citco that we could make the prices come down. I don't know that I believe that it would work, but might be worth a try. I think the email said if everybody did it, it could push gas prices down to close to 2.00 a gallon. If I can find the article I will post it later.
