There is NO SUPPLY PROBLEM!!! Libya is only 3% and others have more than made up for it. The price goes up because it is based on wall street speculation...the net result is oil companies profit MORE. It is not their fault, but they reap the rewards and the common man pays for it.
I think fuel prices should (within reason) be controlled by the government, not wall street hedge funds looking to trade it. Mainly because some drastic move will effect the entire general economy.
Biodiesel takes a lot more energy to make (you don't just pump it out of the earth) so don't expect any bargain...most times it is .50-100 more than regular diesel. What kills me is that bio-diesel price moves with natural diesel which makes no sense since it is not connected to any political agenda.
It's a rigged game and the common man will pay the piper.

newportbiodiesel has been selling their product at 3.20 a gallon for the last 2 years.
veggie oil to diesel is a dewatering and catalytic conversion. the cost is in the collection , and they run their rings on their own juice.
several million gallons of veg oil go to landfills every year, where's the energy cost?

cashed in 1000 points? I thought you were on a diet 
I use it weekly for my truck, tends to knock ~0.10/gal off/ week. nice perk... In conjunction with our 5% rebate (with Shell MC) it ends up saving us ~$30/month |

We save it until I get by a S&S Gas stop 
Beside - I have a 10 year old son - you will know what I mean.
And diets are not cheaper than first available.  |

I've paid as low as $1.20 using my wife's stop & shop card.
I think at that time street price was around $2.80
Filled up my Ranger last sat paid $3.08, sucks when you feel like thats a deal !
One thing with the card, use it before the end of the month.
Points expire at the end of the month. |
