Something has to be done. Diesel is currently at $2.75/gallon here.

you got that right...it is catching up with us across the board..I think about 80% of our goods cross the country by truck and they are passing on the costs with all the things we buy...my last shipment of product almost doubled in cost on shipping..not to mention how much stuff we consume that is made with petroleum products...pass me a beer I have a headache....

I had a friend that attended the nsca event at No Problem Race Track In Louisiana and there were some guys that brought there cars over from England to compete.They were talking and gas there is $9.00 per gallon and racing fuel is $30.00.Read the post on www.Dragstripaction.com They have a bunch of pictures posted as well and a few videos.The people that own and run the site are good friends of mine.There is even a picture of old reliable it was there competing also.I know gas and diesel is getting outrageous but I really feel for those folks in England if it is that expensive.Damned if I wouldn't get a horse and park the old hoopty for awhile!

I use Sunoco Supreme Leaded 112 in my COPO -- at $19/gallon for a 50 gal drum. Supreme Unleaded pump gas from Shell is about $6.50 per gallon and of course I drive an S55 AMG on a daily basis - doh!

The guys you met in Louisiana were spinning a bit of a tale, but only a bit...
