Wish I could find the info.
Remember reading how much the oil companies make for each penny fuel goes up. It was millions and millions.
While ranting - What the F... is up with the 9/10 ? Just round it up. Love to pump exactly one gallon and demand a 1/10 cent in change.

Dammit; I knew this was going to happen. I buy a new 4x4 truck and.....
Just look what happened in 2008 when I put all my savings in the stock market .
As soon as I buy an electric car, Alaska will begin drilling in Anwar and gas will be 32 cents a gallon.

Well then sell that truck and buy that electric car I'm ready for some 32 cents per gallon gas, oops make that 44 cents per gallon. They want to add 12 cents more tax per gallon, hell if gas was that cheap they would make it 1 or 2 bucks a gallon additional tax.

Jay Leno, lover of cars, loves electric cars. because saving fuel is what makes it possible for 700hp supercars, etc to remain viable.
I suppose it applies to our boats as well. Average non-boater would probably be appalled at our mpg. But it's all these folks driving priuses, (sailing - ), etc that 'save' enough fuel that the rest of us can enjoy our thing. hey, no reason not to at least return their friendly waves and smiles,...

When's the last time you heard a petroleum company claim losses in quarter? (Not counting BP last year.)

i hope it gets better towards spring but i think that's traditional season for gas prices to go up; the claim being more people driving.
i forget the percentage, but i believe the majority of each barrel of oil is refined to become gasoline. and as much as i hate the e10, can you think of another way to reduce gasoline consumption by 10% when no one wants to give up a thing?
i keep thinking that the sooner i can talk all you guys into sailing lessons, the cheaper it will be for me to run my boat,...

Even that probably won't work. As Skip says, look at diesel fuel. There is less of a need for it, and costs less to produce (less refining), yet it cost more than gas. There is no way we are going to "beat" the oil companies.
Maybe if gas gets to $5 a gallon, we could go "Egypt" on the whole administration .

It's now bordering on insanity. Frickin' joke.
