Thumbs down

I typically don't trust msnbc but it would be just my luck that they might be right on this one. It already cost me about $50.00 to top off my truck granted 16 mpg aint too shabby but 20 or 30 would make me feel alot better. The worst thing about all of this is that there's no reason for the increase. The last increase was due to speculators and greed and that is more than likely the going to be the case for the next gas hike.

Looks like you guys down under pays nearly the same price as we in Europe does ... I filled up mine yesterday and noticed $1.83/litre for 99 and maybe $1.70 for 95 ... man this sucks.

Crude prices closed up 26 cents at $81.59 a barrel Tuesday
WHAT? I've run this baby on $3+ and still going on drives to nowhere! Leave it to PMSNBC to make a panic!
