...from the Philadelphia newspaper. http://www.philly.com/philly/business/homepage/20080313_Across_nation__gas_nears- __3_25__oil_a_record__110.html Seems the weak dollar is the reason why gasoline/diesel prices are so high despite a greater supply. I guess this is what we get for sending all our manufacturing/money overseas. Our "Wal~Mart dollars" don't buy as much as they used to. Geeze, maybe we should just blow it all while we can still get something for our fiat currency or start buying gold.

Replying to: lemko (Mar 13, 2008 10:43 am) I wonder if my house once had a setup like that, then? There is a grate on the floor of the front bedroom, which is directly above where the wood stove used to sit in what's now the living room. It's been covered over by ceiling tiles in the living room, but upstairs, the vent is still there in the hardwood floor. There's also a vent in the kitchen ceiling that leads up to the back bedroom. |

Well since high gas prices have been a drag on the economy, and the interest rate on my money-market has been lowered because of Fed cuts, and the stock market isn't doing so well, my income this year will be down. So I filled out a new tax withholding form today to compensate, and I'll get $50 more per month in my check. That'll more than pay for gas increases, as I commute 8 miles roundtrip.
