Life is!! Deal with it
As I thought I stated before--You will just have to adjust our spending habits to adjust for the new cost of fuel.
Back in 89 my dad was paying over $5.00 a gallon for gas in London, England.
We have been charmed with our gas always being the chepest in the world, but it has come back to bite us--It is now a WORLD economy--so when China's demand went way up on oil--our cost went up for fuel--same thing happened on steel.
I am not any happier about it than the rest of ya all---But--Deal with it.
My rigs use lots of oil products--Just adjust--I know it hurts--but--oh well
. All my hobbies cost when it comes to fuel.
As far as Bio and Ethanol---thank Ethanol for the cost of veggie's going up and meat as well as dairy. And the EPA has found out that it is worse on the enviroment than petro fuel. They are just keep it from the public--OPPS--they were(are) wrong on this idea.
As far as ANWR---Start drilling baby. The damage done when the Alaska Pipeline went in was hard to believe---Minimal--it was going to kill off the caribou---HAHAHA--what a bunch of idiots(tree huggers) that came up with that one
.
Yammadog---I well understand 8% profit--after write offs---but you got to have it to write it off--and if the government says you can write it off--don't ya!! It is all part of the game.
I beleive the point I was trying to make was--They are not making 100% or even 50% as most would believe they are.
Good To Go---Some people just do not get it--or with it
