    Default a different kind of fuel saving tip

    http://www.tfc-charts.w2d.com/marketquotes/index.php3

    here is a fuel tip that i use daily. i check crude oil commodity prices. if crude closes up 2.00 a barrel, then i know that within 48 hours it will hit the pumps at an approx increase of 8 cents per gal. i paid $2.99 a gal for diesel tues 10/30/07 following these tips. the price rose the next day to $3.05 breifly then to $3.09. so at 123 gal at $2.99 vs $ 3.09 is a saving of & 12.30 this can add up over a year into big bucks. also you can do the reverse. if prices fall & you dont need fuel, waiting a day can save you also. when prices spike to 3-4 dollars a barrel my wife & i fill up all the vehicles we own not just the big truck. i have been doing this for over 8 years & use these charts to trade commodities also. just click on the link then oil & energy then crude oil nymex. the close if in red in down if in green then it's an increase. you can do the math on more gallons for more savings. hope this is helpful to someone.

    I watch the oil commodoties price too haulers, along with all my other stocks. But haven't seen that much of a link to diesel prices. Heck they just go UP. :twisted:
    "It is not the critic who counts,
    not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,
    or where the doer of deeds could have done better.
    The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
    whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood;
    who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again;
    who knows the great enthusiasms,
    the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course;
    who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
    and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly;
    so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
    who know neither victory or defeat."

    Theodore Roosevelt
