gas went up here 8cents a gallon last night..the guy I have my gas account with called and said "you'd better fill up this afternoon"...I spent all afternoon filling five trucks, counting the 20 minute one way drive to the station..I'd like to trade with one of the companies listed, but they're nowhere around here..I wonder if their prices are going up apace with those who buy middle easter oil?..I can't help but think that part of this recent rise is just plain greed which is easy to blame on the impending war.

"The United States of America is the world's largest energy producer, consumer, and net importer. It also ranks twelfth worldwide in reserves of oil, sixth in natural gas, and first in coal."

See if you can find the info on exports.
