They do that to play with your mind.
Example -WOW- gas went up to $4.00 a gallon last week, but now its down to $3.75. You think you're getting a bargain at $3.75 now but most people forget that it was $4.00 agallon last week.
Net result is that the price went up and then it was reduced by a fraction of the orginial price hike.

As soon as some "expert" says the price of bbl petroleum is going up in a month, it is immediately reflected the NEXT DAY at the pump. If the media would just not report it, it may not happen. Right....

What I did notice is how fuel costs were way low a couple months before the presidential election. Now a couple months after the inauguration they are way high. Hmmmmm.

Heading south for 2 trips this year, I guess the fuel costs would be what I would pay for airfare if I had to fly, so it's pretty much a wash.

No Way it has not yet changed anything. Where we go it takes a tank there & a tank back last summer $100 each way....... even if diesel went to $5 agallon it would then cost about $135 each way. Might cut running around once we get there a little.
We currently have 3 different weeks planned at the same place in Myrtle Beach. Won't affect or closer to home weekends either.......

Finances in general has us thinking closer to home, but not because of diesel prices are any different.
