[QUOTE="stocky, post: 1190404, member: 1150"] I guess I was looking more for why there was a 65 cent increase in diesel all of a sudden, today. Most increases are 5-10 cents at a time, unless there is a major news release about some new regulation or refinery disaster or something like that. If it were just an energy raise due to extra driving or travel, there would not have been an 8-12 cent drop in gas prices and articles every day in the news about the gas going to continually slide lower. 6 years ago, when this guy took over, gas was 1.78 per gallon and diesel 1.99, so going up is not going in the direction of where the fuel prices were. Going down would be in the direction, although they are still far higher than at that time. This is the group that said electricity prices will necessarily skyrocket with their destruction of the coal industry and they said 6-10 dollars per gallon for gas is what is needed to allow alternative energy to be competitive in prices, fortunately, the private industry has been able to keep that from happening, but they are working hard to turn it back to the skyrocket direction that they need to funnel the money to their chosen people. Anyway, I wasn't debating the normal rise and fall of prices, I was wondering if anyone knew why there was a 20 percent increase in one day of diesel, when gas went down. Thanks for the thoughts and ideas. [/QUOTE]
