Still gets me that the price goes up for produce sitting in the storage tank based on a future delivery price. I could swallow the money grab easier if the price only went up after the tanker truck doing the fill drove away.

A refinery must keep running so they buy futures as a hedge to ensure a supply and at a predictable price. For a refinery were to buy on a month to month basis on the spot market is suicide. I suspect the price adjustments occur on the business side, the refinery just outputs at price X. It is true that smaller companies buy there gas form the refineries of the bigger companies. The difference is the additives. Did anybody notice the sign on CDN tire gas..."may contain up to 10% methanol"...and this is not just a winter thing...they use butane for that

Well.
There goes my random fish store hopping just for fun and a look-see.

All you really need to do is to start saving money. Do not spend it on any luxuries, such as entertainment and frankly reef tanks. Once companies are not generating enough revenue, and begin to lay off people, our government will start to notice and will be forced to do something.

Its really the only way for all of this to work. Just look at what happened to the US in 2008. We are going down this road. SAVE YOUR MONEY BEFORE YOU DONT HAVE ANY.

On nice days, both summer and winter I ride my bicycle to work. Saves a bundle on gas, and I feel energized when I arrive . When I drive I feel sluggish and head straight to the coffee pot. Travel time is pretty close sometimes much faster by bike, if traffic is backed up from a train.
