Diesel is cheaper that unleaded here in the Chicago area. It's the same way in NW Indiana too. It's about time.
Kevisip - I hear ya'! We didn't go anywhere last year because diesel was so high. We have a fifth wheel that we keep in Indiana. We go there every weekend in summer.
We bought it so we can go other places and last year there was no way. This year we will be pulling our camper out of our campsite in Indiana at the beginning of June. We will head up to our friends summer place which is close to the WI Dells. He has 8 acres of pure fun. ATV's, swimming, etc. Then for the week of the fourth of July we will head up to the Mercer area.
I am so happy that we will be able to travel again.
Although I would like to know why unleaded is going up so quickly!! It was $2.23 on Friday and today at the same place in Lombard, IL it was $2.39!!!

At least we know it's not a Bush/Chaney plot to raise the gas prices.Mabye Obama could use a few extra bucks.I hear he's eating lunch at Burger King,to save tax payer monies instead of those lousy White House Chef specials.One hundred days and he's got things running smooth!

$1.66 wholesale price of gasoline today.
Add Fed tax
State tax
Sales Tax
Destination
Mark-up
Latest word is that some monkey sneezed in koocamonga, spreading snot on a pipeline which might cause it to get greasy, causing inspectors to slip off the pipe which could cause liability insurance to drift up, sooooooo the price of gasoline is going up.
Ain't that nice.
Actually the report that recently came out was that the gasoline stockpile didn't increase to the 2.2 million barrels, and only increased .8 million barrels so that HAS TO MEAN....HIGHER PRICES.
Bend over, drop your drawers and smile at the camera....you are about to be taken for another ride.
Who wants to bet that by the 4th of July, we will be hovering near $3 a gallon again???

$2.01 per gallon in North branch Michigan last weekend.
$2.32 in Lapeer Michigan Friday...prices should drift down as wholesale prices have been moving south.
These means increased affordability for tripping north to see colors....

Saw some oil analysts on tv one day about a month ago. They were stating that the reason for the drop is because of our alternative energy sources. They have to try to make oil cheaper so we don't go the alternative way. If we go alternative we will not need their oil and they will be sitting on all that oil and no one to buy it. They stated that gas could be well under $2.00 by this time next year. Let's hope they are right.

what specificly is it that they say has made such a great impact on the amount of oil we use in this country?
nothing has magicly happened in the past 12 months in the "alternative" energy arena that could make any diff. in the price of crude which is directly tied to market speculation.
How about 10%to 15% unemployment having an impact on gas prices, I think my analysis is closer to the truth lol.
