Oil up to $82 a barrel again. Pure price speculation by the commodity traders chasing the price up again. There is nowhere else to throw the hedge money right now since gold has leveled off.

Just wait until the EPA circumvents the Congress as they have already threatened, and institutes Cap & Trade restrictions. You’ll look back fondly on the $0.30 rise days.

I’d almost rather get tickled by Congressman Massa. On second thought, no I wouldn’t.

If we are driving less, hence less gas tax receipts, means less gas consumption.

why the F has gas gone up 30 cents per gallon the last few weeks.

Before May we will be looking at $3.50 again. Or is it as the weather warms, so does the gasoline price.

Hey Jack, you watching?

The property tax reciepts being up is a surprise.
I guess not enough people and businesses have decided to challenge their assessments, or are overstating values to keep the banks from cutting their credit lines.

I’ll give it less than two years before we are taxed on mileage instead of gasoline usage.
