Okay, But..........

Was gonna have 'em fill the fuel barrels today, but all the chatter has scared me off and I shall wait until the price of fuel goes down.

I worry that old age, senility and crepitus will set in first tho, don't ya think? :>)

Tell you what Allan, seems like a long time ago that fuel was creaping up to $2.00 per gallon. Kind of wish I'd bout a few hundred gallons then. That's a sick thought, considering was paying $1.35 a gallon for deisel less than a year and half ago.

Ask me, the current fuel prices were manipulated by planted or manufactured speculation again. Now blaming an anticipated 70% raise in natural gas and heating oil prices on the hurricanes. Only problem with that arguement, they were talking 70% increases months before the hurricanes. How quickly many forget, and easy they can be wrangled into "Oh yes, that's right, hurricanes".

Sorry for that, the mischievious stinker in me
momentarily came out.
Hope all is well and on the mend. Brokenwrench

You might as well go ahead and fill the tanks, 'cause the price of fuel is not likely to take a significant dip for a little while. Its either bite the bullet, or the tractors sit.

Hope the wife is feeling better. May I suggest you strike while the iron is hot. Suggest the nags need a new home. Say nothing about dog food or glue production.

All kidding aside, if the animal that hurt her is likely to do it again it has no place on your little spread.

Demand will be off - I've been seeing a lot of talk of people putting in wood stoves, corn stoves, etc. If 1 in 100 do it, that's 1%. Huge. SUVs aren't selling well. etc.

Today at 9:30 the API and DOE release the past weeks inventory levels. That should set the market for the coming week. I'll let you know when they come out what they are.

However, don't let any facts confuse you in a rumor driven speculator market. It can go either way.

Jay

Like you said its supply and demand. Price went up and demand dropped, thats why the inventories are steady. If the government went to price controls like it did under Nixon the inventories would be wiped out and instead of high gas prices with no lines you'd have slightly lower prices but only able to buy fuel every other day of the week or so.

Hope you have a lot of time on your hands.

In my 61 years, I don't ever recall it "going down". I think that is against the rules 'er something. :>)

Although, like Rusty says, if we park 'em and eliminate the non-essential running, it would sure slow the process a little. The grand design only works if the pump lever is flipped up and flowing.

So, no do-nut fer the wife this morning. :>)
