Re: Sad!!!

It's more than that up here... Around 4.25 and diesel is around 4.50
The saddest part is that it's going to get much worse and probably not ever get much better

Re: Sad!!!

Yeah,every time a bird farts,oil companies raise prices!
The worst part is,the government doesn't care,because they have stock in oil,and auto companies that make eco-cars,or they get PAC $$,to keep things high.
I think the only way it will change,is to vote against any office-holder that doesn't want to take action!

Re: Sad!!!

usually it will pop back down by election time. If it hits 5 i'll start to feel it. But i'm lucky to have gas at 3.89 diesel at 4.10.

Recent Events Revisited...
Here we go again. Recently the old recent events post was removed, and as soon as it was it seems all of you decided it was free for all time AGAIN. Here's how it is. NO political, NO religion debates will be tolerated. We allowed them a few tries and well it just doesn't work it turns into a nightmare for us to deal with. Anyone harassing another member, not following the rules, trolling, etc. WILL BE BANNED for 24 hrs without warning. Second offense will be 2 weeks, 3rd strike and your out. This means that all of my staff and I are tired of playing preschool teacher, learn to live together or you will not be here for very long.
