Well hows this. Family has one of the largest sugar cane facilities in Louisiana. Over 100,000 acres. How about (4) ten,thousand diesel tanks around the acerage for fuel for the equipment. Mike:grumble:

Mike, you need to go to www.efuel100.com with all that sugar down there.

Look at it this way guys, in 6 months we can say back in the good ol days we can remember only paying 409 a gallon.

The large companies got us Americans right where they want us.:mad: First it was the diesel fuel, then gasoline. Then they jacked up the price of food, along with everything else. They're already telling people that home heating oil, natural gas and electricity will be going up, just in time for the heating season.:eek: WOW. Everytime you turn around their picking our pockets. I guess our politicians are showing their true side. They're not about to help anyone.:dunno If we're gonna get screwed, at least they could kiss us once in a while.:eek: Skip:grumble:

I've tried to put this in perspective although DQ's better at this sort of thing. A truck getting 6 mpg at $2.00 gal costs .33 cents a mile in fuel to transport 45000lbs. Lets say 1000 miles total transport=$330 in fuel or .007cents per lb, so at $4.00 gal or double, right ,raisinng the cost per pound to .014 cents:deal. And this justifies a pound of coffee going up $4.00 lb??. So we can conclude that the retail market is just using fuel as a fake justifukation to increase profits at our expense, buy fuel not coffee, bread, food ,in general and take a ride, and no, I do not own stock in the oil companies.

I got a headache, so gonna get the 58 out and use as much gas today as I can.

Have a nice dry warm day cruisin day.
