Fuel Prices 2-15-12

Hey guys,

Just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Fuel prices have gone up everyday for the past three weeks. Diesel especially is leading the way on my contracts.

Traders on wall street are saying to get prepared for 4 dollars a gallon for the summer atleast. All this is despite I have record inventories up the pipe and in the terminals. Wall Street also blames the Iran stuff on this.
I hate to be the doom of gloom and it gets me down too.......until SOMEBODY stops wall street then this stuff is going to keep going on.
Go fuel up. Especially if you have a diesel. All products are headed up and especially diesel.
When things change I will let you guys know.

Thanks T-bone...I've been dealing with this for the last couple weeks and it looks like it's gonna get worse.

Bend over ya'll....it's going to effect every thing you buy.

they get us coming and going and everywhere in between. KY and vaseline is petroleum so ya know they wont use any of that!!!! LOL

when it cost almost 50 bucks to fill up my smal 4 cyl car that is just dumb

TBone how do you guys keep gas in terminals without it going bad? If I keep gas in a 5 gallon can overwinter, it's recommended that I add fuel stabilizer to it. Is it the fact that you go through it so fast that it's not a concern?

What about ppl like farmers that have storage tanks on their properties?

Does the same apply to diesel?

We move it so fast its not a concern. We sell 12 million gallons a year.

Yes gas sitting over winter and esp with ethanol will need a stabilizer. That does apply to diesel. Diesel is not as crucial though.

So what would a person need to do if they had a tank (say 500 gallons) put didn't go through it that fast, treat it once a year or per each refill?

I remember both of my grandparents had a tank like that but cant imagine that they used it that fast. Just wondering how they kept fuel around without it going bad.

Once per tank. Just don't let it sit if u don't have too

There was a fellow on the news six months ago saying by this easter it will be 4.00 a gal.....this is old news....

You know what Obama said was the solution to your problem. "just put more air in your tires" Of which I think I will send my wife to the tire store to see if the can put larger tires on the rear. That way I will be rolling downhill all the time and can save gas.

Dang I'm sorry I'm bringing up old news.
All I was trying to do was warn people to fill up before the pump went up the next day and save some money.

It is not too difficult to understand President Obama’s point of view on energy. When he first took office, he was given the opportunity to select a new Secretary of Energy. He chose Steven Chu, who had just been quoted in the Wall Street Journal saying that “somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” Secretary of Energy, Dr. Steven Chu, Currently, a gallon of gasoline in Europe will set you back over $8.

Tree huggers don't want us to burn gas, so they like seeing it go higher than we can afford. Problem with that is, everyone will buy the gas they need, and not buy other stuff. Why don't they understand that this is why the economy crashed?

the rich get richer and the middle class get it right up the ass!!!!!

then if you actually save gas...the state starts crying about not making enough money keep up the roads from the gas tax and it needs raised to make sure they get theirs.......

It's not America using all the gas....it's the foreign countries....they have more cars then bicycles now....

DATZ RIGHT!!!!

Well Easter is upon us and we are 3.69 here. Thats a far ways from 4 a gallon. That old news looks like wrong news. Gas is cheaper!

The highest store I have right now is 3.79 in NC.

Now had someone in the Bush administration said that the media would have went ballistic and said all they care about is oil executives and making the rich richer. However the Liberals get a pass, I mean they are trying to save the planet and all. Problem is when fuel goes way up most everything else does as well, especially food!!! If fuel does happen to drop again those other things that went up don't generally drop and we're stuck paying for them over the long haul. Gas is $4.09 a gallon for regular here now.

I'm just tired of Lies ..... They used to do better in hiding the fact of the lles , now it pretty much don't care to lie to your face .... The internet is partly to blame in the fact that most of America is better informed , Media has less control of what america thinks .. go back 20 years America sat down at 6 pm every night to learn what they needed to know and the goverment used that to tell us exactly what they wanted us to know ...

Amen Punder.

Today all the big boys have an agenda and want it carried out at the expense of us.
If I sound crazy then so be it but I really believe the speculators should be arrested for treason. They run this gas up so bad they kill out country.

I know for a fact theres plenty out there. I have the contracts to prove it. Its just a crying shame a guy on wall street can raise the price up 12 cents in a day out of pure feeling and emotion then go home and not care in the world about it. All they care about is they made themselves richer and someone else richer while American citizens once again get screwed.

And what did they make in profits this quarter ?
