Gasoline prices are down here too (N IL), BUT diesel is WAY UP - about $1.00/gallon more than regular.
This is a MAJOR problem - we'll get hit on the back end with prices going up for everything due to delivery costs.
Diesel is cheaper to produce than gas also, fact is people can reduce consumption with gas which the oil companies can react to by lowering prices. Diesel on the other hand is a given, OTR truckers have to buy it no matter what, however high it is. Oil companies just moved their profit margin from one column to the other is all. Can't have all of us running out and buying those highbreds now can they? Got to make sure soccer mom can afford the next Suburban instead of a Preo(?)
