$4.20 a gallon? Really? Boy that sure is convenient timing with memorial weekend coming up and all.

Well with the market picking up like it is I will be staying home this weekend so I don't really have to worry about filling up my car and boat for the weekend, but I am thinking about what it's going to be like when i do.

And really is riding around in my boat really worth $50 for a few hours? It's just frustrating. I mean gas was under $1.50 when Bush took office. I understand the whole supply and demand but if we're the ones getting strapped and the oil companies keep making record profits, saying "well this helps us make it through the down cycles, and we have to research in new sources" Yeah right! They really don't want to sell oil and gas anymore. there basicly telling congress that regulating their indusrty will just make matters worse. The airlines are'nt regualated, how's that working out these days?

I do believe we will be using another source for fuel not too far down the road and I think they know it too so they are just trying to make as much as they can while they can.

Why are'nt our ellected officials doing anything? Can't we ease back on the ethanol for a few months to ease the refinery costs? Something, anything please.

I just needed to rant, thanks for playing along at home. I know I'm not alone on this.
