Back in 2002 when I bought my first diesel truck the price was $0.99 /gal. Now diesel is up to about $4.59. Yes, it sucks. I doubt that these prices will be permanent.
While it hasn't been proven, I believe that the high fuel prices are due to the same people who were manipulating power prices a few years back (remember the rolling blackouts?). I think they have now gotten into the oil industry. They may even be the same people who made a ton of money when the housing industry went nuts. They may even be the same people who pushed for new bankruptcy laws when everyone took on all this new debt. IMO it is one very well planned conspiracy by business to take over everything. Big business has more control over the people of this country than the government does.
BTW, once the price of oil peaks they will move onto something else.
