I saw on the national news tonight that crude oil went down in price, by
$9 a barrel, IIRC. They said that oil had been overvalued recently, and with
the thought that the coming war would be short, a price adjustment was in
order. At least that was their explanation for it.
Funny how the price of a barrel of oil which has not even been refined yet
can have an immediate impact on the selling price of fuel already residing
in the underground tanks of a gas station, isn't it? :-((
Diesel is pushing close to $2 a gallon here in the Northeast, or at least
in central NH. I think I paid $1.85 for the fuel in my tank but most
stations were selling it for around $1.93 last week, it's up around $1.95 -
$1.99 last I checked. Of course diesel always goes up in the winter in this
area, because of "increased demand for heating oil".
Whatever. :-((
