Gas Prices
How high are gas prices going to go up? A lot higher even though ChevronTexaco’s profits in the third quarter improved by 62%. Reason being, way down in the article a spokesman for same says, “The rise in oil prices has been so rapid that ChevronTexaco hasn’t been able to pass on the costs quickly enough to U.S. motorists”. Too bad for those masses of people that aren’t part of the profit sharing. At least the govt. is better able to afford vacations for senators, prime ministers and presidents, as a good portion of the cost of a gallon of fuel is in the taxes anyways.
Get to add some to the pot myself soon with about 7 or 8 hundred k’s added to the little Mazda GLC with the trip to Kelowna. It deserves some time on a highway though, any trip around here is just a few kilometers and I walk most places anyways. Got to remember to burn a new set of cd’s for music when going over the Coquihalla Highway.
