from the linked article
"It does appear that retail gasoline and diesel prices will remain abovegular unleaded gasoline hit a record $2.37 a gallon on Monday, while diesel fuel rose to $2.41 — less than half a penny from its all-time high.

Now the Chevron CEO finally admits the good old days are over.
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It took us 125 years to use the first trillion barrels of oil.
We'll use the next trillion in 30.
So why should you care?
By David J. O'Reilly
Chairman & CEO
Chevron Corporation
Energy will be one of the defining issues of this century. One
thing is clear: the era of easy oil is over. What we all do next will
determine how well we meet the energy needs of the entire world in
this century and beyond.
Demand is soaring like never before. As populations grow and
economies take off, millions in the developing world are enjoying the
benefits of a lifestyle that requires increasing amounts of energy. In
fact, some say that in 20 years the world will consume 40% more oil
than it does today. At the same time, many of the world's oil and gas
fields are maturing. And new energy discoveries are mainly occurring
in places where resources are difficult to extract, physically,
economically and even politically. When growing demand meets tighter
supplies, the result is more competition for the same resources.
We can wait until a crisis forces us to do something. Or we can
commit to working together, and start by asking the tough questions:
How do we meet the energy needs of the developing world and those of
industrialized nations? What role will renewables and alternative
energies play? What is the best way to protect our environment? How do
we accelerate our conservation efforts? Whatever actions we take, we
must look not just to next year, but to the next 50 years.
At Chevron, we believe that innovation, collaboration and
conservation are the cornerstones on which to build this new world. We
cannot do this alone. Corporations, governments and every citizen of
this planet must be part of the solution as surely as they are part of
the problem. We call upon scientists and educators, politicians and
policy-makers, environmentalists, leaders of industry and each one of
you to be part of reshaping the next era of energy.
Signed, Dave

If the people in the east
would let go a lil more oil, perhaps we wouldnt suffer too much, but if they let it all go too soon, wed all use it more, IMO, but eitherways, the value of a dollar is going down, which is why everything seems to be gettin more expensive, i dont complain because i use my truck day in and day out, i just avoid some trips if i have to, were payin 2.25 a gallon diesel now, and i dont mind if it stays like that. 3.00 and up then id be concerned, and i know itll get there, but hopefully by then ill have a better job and better be able to afford it, and if i cant afford the ram, ill get me a TDI and stuff that motor into a lil ranger or somethin...
The prices will not go down that is a fact i doubt we will ever see diesel at 1.50 again.... not in my lifetime at least... Eventaully though, we might find another alternative fuel, but diesel is in everything, and without it, well trucks stop, and so does our economy, if diesel is in demand, that means out economy and business are booming, no? In an optimistic sence.
It can be solved, i walk a lil more now rather than drive, and dont leave the truck idlin over 5 mins... and find other jobs on the side, yards and stuff to pay for my fuel, as long as i can afford to get it, im happy... and because i need it, i tend to somewhat ignore the price, tomororw is payday for me, so my first visit after the bank, will be the pump...... but thats ok...
Besides, we dont want to compete so much for resources taht we will kill each other for diesel now do we? that is why prices are high as well, there are ppl working round the clock tryin to find solutions to these problems so that we dont kill ourselves or so that it comes down to a crisis.... They are right, together.... is the way to do it, i aint preachin here, nor do i want to feel that way... but on another note... 4K for the biodieselmaker eh? hmmmmmmmm

To all you guys crying about the price of fuel didn't read my post the other day.
I offered to sell diesel for $2.25 a gallon and all you had to do was pay
for the shipping.
I got NO takers. I am now out of the diesel business ...... THANKS!!

My friend and I figured something out. I don't remember most of the numbers really, but the middle east is bringing in about $15 Billion a day in crude oil sales. We did the math about 2 months ago. calculations was all based on barrels of oil made a day and the price of a barrel. greedy basteges.
