DOE predicts diesel will average $2.28 per gallon in 2009

I think it's the volatility not the price that's a problem....How can you run a business trucking or otherwise if transportation cost fluctuate 20% a quarter. Trucking companies may be able to pass the buck vs fuel surcharges but it's still a problem...What about a commercial national fuel reserve. Add 10% when fuel is cheap reduce it by 10% when it's up.. It would piss the hell out of commodity traders but would benefit the economy as a whole... Volatility up or down thats how they make money it's just unfair that everyone else has to pay for their Game..

 

That would make sense, but from what I am seeing from the Gov lately, I doubt it would ever happen.
