Frosty
We had our first serious frost last night. This morning everything was covered in a thin layer of ice crystals. It was very pretty, but if there was some way to get the same effect without the cold that would be good.
So here's a question for you. Oil prices are now around $70 a barrel. That's about half what they were at their peak price a while back. And yet gas is still over $3 a gallon, which is about 3/4 of what the highest price was. How is that the price of gas can increase quickly enough to insure that companies producing it don't lose money, and yet when the costs of the materials go down the price doesn't come down anywhere near as quickly (if it ever does). Could it be that the oil companies are simply leaving it high to bring in even more profit because they can.

dya'think?!
nice frosty shots m8.
It's funny how more populous parts of the state such as NoVa. and Charlottesville are hovering around $3 per gallon, and yet gas was $2.49 yesterday in Goshen, VA. Maybe I'll have to drive 90 miles to fill up my truck...
We Need To Drill Now!!
we are finding several suppliers selling petrol at less than a pound now. although diesel is still about £1.10.
But gaz.... isn't that a pound per LITER? I don't want to do the math to go to $/gal at *THAT* rate.
