Diesel prices are on the rise...



Commentary Update (basically a rant)


I spend $40 to fill a hyundai elantra today. Yes you heard that right..small car, small tank, HUGE gas bill. I cant even imagine what truckers are doing. For any economic gains to take root in the economy the price of fuel has to be addressed or the cost to deliver goods will spiral out of control..

New England experienced the smallest cost increase at 1.4 cents; California prices rose the most, 6.7 cents, to $4.323, up $1.17 from last year.
