also new refining technologies allow them to pull more gasoline from a barrel of crude, which they sell more of, hence the supply of diesel is low and demand high and we all know who is charge in that scenario

"On New Jersey's Turnpike, southbound rigs "as far as the eye can see" were moving at about 20 mph near Newark, said Turnpike Authority spokesman Joe Orlando. Other truckers had gathered at a service area near Newark chanting and protesting.

Outside Chicago, three truck drivers were ticketed for impeding traffic on Interstate 55, driving three abreast at low speeds, said Illinois State Police Master Sgt. Luis Gutierrez."

I'm not a trucker but I do understand your plight. Having said that I don't see how pizzing off the 9-5 commuters who are also bearing the brunt of high gasoline prices is going to help the cause.

Since a trucker blocked me this afternoon, I've decided that all gasoline and diesel fuel is now going to cost 50 cents a gallon.

See, it worked.

we should support farmers producing soybeans for biodiesel and corn for ethanol, not as an additive but as a renewable source of energy and replacement for fossil fuels. It would also help us get out of the middle east mess!

Just my .02....but what do I know?

Exactly! We've been down this road before!
