Diesel won't go down as long as 'bad weather' is forecast for the North/NorthEast (Fuel Oil??); no way to get truckers to strike over the price -- Congress saw the writing on the wall years ago and gave them the means to just pass the increased cost on to their customers -- effectively took them out of the picture.
What I find interesting is that the price of a barrel of oil went down to the $89 and change yesterday, regular unleaded went down by 4 cents at several of our local stations today yet diesel went up from 3.45 to 3.55 at the same stations. With 2 new grandkids to spoil the wife and I have already cancelled one of our trips to see family over the holiday break, she is now talking of cancelling the other one. (I happen to agree - would rather give the money towards spoiling the little guys instead of lining some rich oil Company Executive's wallet!) Oops - better get off the soapbox
