Gas prices - Dryrod - 06-17-2008 [center][font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]$4.899 per gallon here in the big OC. Do I hear $5.00?[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Gas prices - wiperhunter2 - 06-17-2008 We are up to $3.93 a gallon depending on the area, are you kidding about paying 4.89? [signature] Re: [wiperhunter2] Gas prices - Dryrod - 06-17-2008 [font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]I only wish that I was kidding about the price. They claim [forecasters] that we will probably see $5.00 by the 4th of July. You know, we sell a lot of wheat to the Mid Eastern countries. Those same people from whom we get our oil. Well instead of charging them $7.00 a bushel we should triple the price for starters. Hell I can go longer without gas than I can without food. Lets see them squirm a bit about the price of food.[/size][/#008000][/font] [signature] Re: [Dryrod] Gas prices - wiperhunter2 - 06-17-2008 Wow, I had no idea the prices had risen so high in certain parts of the country. I agree with you about selling our wheat higher to offset the cost of gas. I think I would also take it one step farther and quit giving out all the foreign aid to all the countries that turn up their nose at us. It sure wouldn't take long to balance our national debt if we did not give away so much money[].
