Hey, I was listening the the podcast and found out that little ole me won the photo contest of gas prices over $4.

It was funny, Todd said to put your hand in the photo. So I grabbed my camera and my dog (keeshound) and we walked around the corner to take the picture. You should have seen me trying to hold the retractile leash in one hand so that I could get the empty hand in the shot. the dog was not to cooperative. It was funny.

Now all I have to do is create a paypal account and collect my prize.

Here in No. Virginia, we are not quite at $4 a gal. yet. But, the price goes up at least one penny per day. I think speculators and those that want to force us to drill off FL and CA and in the Artic Wildlife Refuge area are behind the scenes in this OBscene price gouge.

On my side of the river (Missouri) we are still under $4. But on the Illinois side it is over $4. And diesel is 4.58. Scary!

It's interesting you mention fuel V diesel prices, Susabelle. For ages here in Australia, diesel was cheaper than standard unleaded. However for the best part of the last 12 months (if not more), diesel is about 20 cents dearer than standard unleaded.

check out gas buddy, They give cheapest, most expensive, and average cost for many places via sister sites.  They also give hisorical data for a bunch of cities in the US & Canada, and allow you to make comparison graphs.  This stuff is pretty fun to look at.

The old cheap diesel was dirty like shit, that was why it was cheap. When they were forced to reduce the sulfur content, prices shot up. In addition to that, diesel is very similar to the oil you use for warming houses, and the price of that has risen too.
