We had to cancel our planed New England States trip a few years ago when Diesel went above 5.00 per gallon. The trip is on our travel agenda this summer but if diesel continues to increase at the predicted rate the trip will be off. The Ego would like to say we will travel no matter what the price but the budget says otherwise.
BTW.. refresher.... here are the OPEC countries...Note that most of them are NOT Arab..
