[Rob]

It's about to go up again.

This time because two workers got kidnapped in Nigeria.

Back up again $.10.

Drove into town on Thursday at $2.63 - came home two hours later and it's $2.73.

Takes a month to go down a nickel and a couple of hours to go up a dime.

Figure that one out.

Cheapest regular is $3 in my area.  High grade runs $3.25 to $3.30.

Weird, we're still around $2.90 - $2.93 in the Eastern part of the state (at least we were last week when I filled up).

Awesome!

AP Business Writer DUBAI, United Arab Emirates The increasing ease of becoming a millionaire became clear Tuesday, with the announcement that the ranks of world millionaires had swelled to 8.7 million last year _ half a million more than the population of New York City.

The red-hot Middle East saw nearly 10 percent growth in millionaires _ the world's fastest rate _ with record oil revenues and soaring stock markets pushing 300,000 people over the million-dollar mark.

Good for them.   

Editor's note:  When I use the rolling eyes emoticon, it's meaning is that of sarcasm  - in contrast to some people using it as a "look at the above post" symbol.

At least now I know where all my money is going.

[ruiner]

Well, not all of it. 

There are a lot of fat cats here too!

 

[john todd]

Wow, do you think the upcoming holiday has anything to do with the $.10 increase we witnessed on Sunday?

We're at $2.79.

 

How can the price of oil go up on a Sunday when the markets are closed?

[DSJ™]

Our gas just went up today, from 99.9 per litre to 107.9. ******* bastards! 

[Jesse James]

Ours went up from $2.75-$2.79 to $2.89 within the span of last night.

Blah.

[ruiner]

Well, we're at $2.95 here in the Midwest.

Why is that when a car company produces a cheap fuel efficient car you can't seem to find one for sale?

[Rob]

Here's my question... oil hit another record high the other day, something like $75.78 per barrel.

But gas is still a little under 3$.

Is that because Exxon and the rest have decided that $3.00 is the magic number that takes people from being mad, to being furious and asking questions (read: Congress) or are there other factors involved?  It just seems odd that oil is at an all time high, but gas isn't.
