$3.65 a gallon for Diesel here in North Florida. And I'll also share this tidbit from this week's Kiplinger Letter:

rebels entrenched in the east and Muammar al-Qadhafi?s forces in Tripoli.
Even if Qadhafi is ousted soon, it will take time for a new government to form
and for foreign firms to bring workers back to the North African nation?s oil fields.
Though Libya supplies just a tiny fraction of U.S. oil consumption?well below 1%...
any disruptions will have a ripple effect that will push up prices of oil and motor fuels,
even if Saudi Arabia and other oil-producing nations quickly ramp up their output.
Odds of political unrest engulfing key oil supplier Saudi Arabia remain low.
Some Saudis are indeed restless, but calls for a regime change are fairly isolated.
Still, protests in Iran and Oman will stoke fears about oil supply snafus.
So continued volatility in oil prices and in the stock markets is a sure bet.
Turmoil abroad renews concerns about the U.S.? dependence on foreign oil.
But note that the largest share of America?s oil imports comes from Canada?
a dependable and stable source close to home. It?s a trend that?s certain to continue
as the Canadian oil industry ramps up production and pipeline infrastructure
to bring additional crude supplies to U.S. refiners. Deposits of oil sands
in the province of Alberta are said to hold 170 billion barrels of recoverable crude,
a reserve that makes Canada second only to Saudi Arabia, with 265 billion barrels.
By 2020, Canada will supply 20% of daily U.S. oil needs, from 10% now?
almost double the imports from the next largest supplier, Mexico. And while imports
from Mexico and Venezuela, historically two of America?s top oil purveyors,
will drop off in coming years because of a lack of investment, Canadian oil will surge.
The growing influx of Canadian oil won?t necessarily lead to lower prices
at the gasoline pump. But it will foster greater price stability by further reducing
U.S. dependence on crude from the volatile Middle East and North Africa.

Saw on GMA this morning a gas station in Orlando next to the airport is charging $5.89 a gallon. They're banking on people in a hurry stopping to fill their rental car. Those scumbags should lose their business license.

Good stuff indeed, well not exactly literally. I heard on the news today that supply is at an 18 year high, and production isn't far behind. So based on supply and demand you should be paying approximately what you paid in 1993, which was less :) It's all up over speculation because they are worried about supply problems coming from the middle east. Not over anything that's happened yet. Maybe if it his the 4+ mark again they'll actually re-think the changes they made towards the speculation market in the 90s, doubt it. But it may be a good time to bite the bullet and buy a new pick up when the spike hits and everyone is freaking out

I don't recall where I read the article but I saw in the last few days that said if fuel breaches $4/gal for any extended period of time, the economy will be immediate thrown back into recession.

Also, I pumped 27 gallons into my 99 2 door Tahoe yesterday to a tune of $98.01. Granted, that was from empty, but #@%^*?! :ack

I think it's time to get the horse and buggy out, and leave to go to work five days in advance so you'll be there in time before you get pink slip.
