From what I hear on the news.... people in the US are already pulling back in gas usage. I think with the economy is SOOO bad that people just really can't afford to drive unless it's mandatory.
Hopefully if it keeps up.....prices will fall back. Who knows!

What are you talking about???? April was raise month and I got a 2% raise. Best I've gotten in the last three years since the wage and hiring freeze. Things are rocking now! I'm shopping for a new Skater!!

I hear you there! Were the busiest we've been in three years. Can't guarantee it will keep up, but I've hired 4 people since Christmas and we're working 60+ hours a week. Things are going great, can't believe it.

Around this area, I see a high of 3.99, and many have retreated down to 3.87 and a low of 3.83. Starting to reverse course. Last week's rout of oil prices should have a decent impact this week and next.

The way to increase margins is through exporting. Many US refiners did well by increasing exports the last year, and especially this year. Up 42% since a year ago. The demand overseas is high, and China is a glutton now. It became more profitable to export due to demand. We had plenty.
