Heres my thoughts on this.Want lower prices?Everyone needs to stop buying diesel fuel from just one of the major oil companies like Exxon/Mobil for one week.They would not make any money and would have to lower the prices to get peaple to buy there once again,Then when they lower the prices all the others would have to lower theres also just to compete with them.Why not try a little of the supply and demand bull**** they have been pulling with us the last few years.
I have to agree with this. People send around those e-mails trying to get people not to buy gas on a certain day, which makes no sense (or cents). The gas stations just get a spike in sales the night before and the day after. The only way you can really hit them where it hurts is to buy from the smaller companies, which would then force the larger companies to drop their prices and cut into their 40 billion dollar profits.

BTDT, No fun at all....

C'mon down to the 'foot' of CT and check the prices here! Diesel's out of control.
Anyone notice the media make no mention of how much fuel our current military endeavours consume daily?

I really have to question my own sanity repowering my truck right now, but I need it for work, and have no $, so therefore no choice. Three fillups a week is not uncommon for me running around from site to site. @ over $140 a pop that's going to hurt.
