We seem to have a new "Evil Axis" consisting of Big Oil, investors and no doubt the good folks out in the Middle East. Someone, somewhere, is driving up the price at the pump tremendously in the last month.
Prices around here (northeast Illinois) range from $3.22 to $3.26, the highest since the frenzy back in 2008. That's up from $2.90 a month ago.
Do they remember what happened to the economy the last time they did it? Or, perhaps the family suffering that came with it? Or the fact their greed served as a launching pad for the economic problems that cropped up and still exist?
What really gets my goat is that the federal government doesn't do anything to stop it.
Anyway, These Prices Are Really Going to Have an Effect on Road-Trippin' This Year. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
