Crude hit $135 a barrel last nite so we will be seeing numbers more like $6.00+ here shortly,at that price they said regular gasoline will be at $6.00 by mid summer..... We better see freight start to hit $3.00+ a mile avg. before long...... but we will also be paying $4 for a carton of eggs, $6 a gallon of milk...etc.....this is flat out BS no matter how you look at it.

I actually keep track of the per gallon cost as well.

In June 1996, I paid an average on a trip I took of 2.95 per gallon. Made the same delivery last week. Average price was 4.63 per gallon.

January 1, paid 3.059 per gallon.

In Missouri yesterday, 4.599 per gallon.
