Also, some OPEC members are considering decreasing production.

Creeping back up. I paid $3.75 in the Bronx this moning, but saw $4.05 up in Scarsdale, near the Bronx River Parkway.

$3.39.

$3.25 in South Jersey at a Wawa. Two years ago we would have been screamin' our balls off. Now, $3.25 sounds great. Are we been F'd over, or what?

It's a shame that we think that $3.25 is a bargain. I paid $3.59 today.

Fill up your tanks tonight. I heard a report on tv that gas prices MAY rise 50-75¢ a gallon by Monday (due to Hurricane Ike).

Of course, I have to take a 350 miles trip on Sunday/Monday. I heard an eskimo farted in Canada and it affected the natural gas reserves. Look for a price increase.

That was me.

Thanks PB, you owe me. Seriously folks, gas here went up $.12 overnight. Ridiculous. Why didn't it go up when Gustav hit? Is our gas pricing so critical that it's a day to day adjustment? How F'n stupid is that? What if the chickens don't feel like laying eggs today, does the price of eggs go up? We are being F'd by those scum-slime-shit-eatin'-Wall Street-c'skrs who just mess around with the economy for the sake of their f'n money-grubbin' egos, or whatever else motivates their slime-suckin' egos.
I hope they contract a case of bleedin' hemi-roids after a night of eating spicy wings and Budweiser.

MC, you really need to stop holding back. Please. It's not good for you.

Why type it that way? If you can say "shit-eatin'" why not just type out "fucked" and "cocksuckers"? It's so confusing trying to figure out what the hell a "c'skers" is. Or, when you said "c'skers" did you actually mean "Climate Skiers"? Then I apologize.

Climate Skiers?? What on earth is that? MC meant "cheese seekers".

And F'd is Fed.

No it's not, it means farfetched.


Normally it would. But only marginally.

I thought I would allow the reader to insert their own adjective or expletive. For me, F'd is Flubbed, F'n is Fondlin', c'skers is cornhuskers. You might say I'm not being totally truthful here, but then the topic has been generated by deceit and lies, so I thought I would keep it in that vein....or is that vain?

I knew it! You're a fucking oil baron!

Crude oil for October delivery fell $2.18, or 2.2 percent, to $99 a barrel at 4.26 p.m. on the Nymex. Futures touched $98.46, the lowest since Feb. 26.

Prices are up 25 percent from a year ago.

Gasoline for October delivery fell 10.86 cents, or 3.9 percent, to $2.661 a gallon in New York.

Ah, my cover is blown. Yes, I'm an oil....person. Love, olive oil. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This summer I was working from home a lot, so as a spouse who believes in sharing domestic responsibility, I prepared many dinners. One of my concoctions was, I'll call, Veggie ala oil olive. Ingredients: one Italian egg plant, one small squash or zucchini, sliced mushrooms, sliced yellow onion, sliced red vidalia onion, quartered yukon gold small potatoes, sliced red pepper. The amount of each is up to the individual. Put the whole pile into an aluminum pan. Soak generously with EXTRA Virgin Olive Oil, some sea salt, garlic salt, italian seasonings of choice. Put the pan on the grill and let the oil boil. Once boiling add a can of diced tomatoes. Let it boil/simmer until the veggie shrink a bit. Serve with grilled chicken, pork, or beef of choice. The beauty is that you can substitute the veggie's with your choice or what is in season. The key ingredient OLIVE OIL.... yes, I'm a fucking oil baron.

$3.83 this morning.

Don't know the price of gas anymore....

Can't afford to use the car these days so i never fill it up

Shame the money we save goes on rising food and home fuel prices,which are going through the roof,surprise,surprise

Oil is down to $91+ a barrel this afternoon.

This is intriguing. Oil is down significantly, but pump prices are still high. Why? One reason is that we are used to paying higher prices and our demand hasn't decreased enough.

And the other reason....the oil/gas companies will fuck us over at every chance they get and use pitiful excuses like Hurricane Ike. We're being bludgeoned into a stupor just like the mortgage companies and look where they are now.

$3.99 here damnit.

4.19.

If $3.99 is dammit, what is $4.19?

Double damnit!!

Mig, you may know how to can tomatoes, but your math sucks.

Still around $3.40 in Jersey.

You forgot I can beans also.

Thanks, but I don't wanna hear about beans and your can.
