Regular UL $1.94 to $2.09 around Central Georgia, mostly over $2 a gallon.
Last week prices broke down to The mid to upper $1.80s that was nice! Guess the big oil guys think they're not making enough money? Our buddy Saudi Araiba fixed that when they announced that they were cutting production, AGAIN? The cold weather has contributed to the rise in energy prices, naturally, it happens every winter.

Look, Chevron is going broke, Yeah, right!

Don't ya think this will knock the price of oil down a notch?

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pennsylvania (AP) -- A new pair of hands pulled Punxsutawney Phil from his stump this year, so it was only fitting that the groundhog offered a new prediction.
Phil did not see his shadow on Friday, which, according to German folklore, means folks can expect an early spring instead of six more weeks of winter.

$57.73 a barrel at 13:25 +.43 up a little, vascillating

One sector that has turned the corner but is so far failing to provide much momentum for blue chips is Energy. Evidently further appreciation in the price of oil is acting as more of an offset than renewed enthusiasm for beaten-down oil stocks is from a leadership standpoint.

I think it's about time that the US started reaping profits from Irac's oil to pay us back for the war that will free it's people. Looks like our government has no idea about how to do this?

Looking for Iraq's oil windfall

The country, which has one of the largest reserves in the world, could pump 6 million barrels a day or more. But that sure isn't happening now.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Iraqi oil revenue was supposed to cover nearly all the costs of reconstruction.
The county's reserves are on the order of 115 billion barrels and, depending on who does the counting, tied with Iran for the world's second largest behind Saudi Arabia's 264 billion, according to the Energy Information Administration.

Hope gas prices are better in your part of the country. In central Ga. it ranges from $1.99 to $2.09 a gallon for regular UL, and on the rise.
Why do we always specify Unleaded when that is all there is? Not again!
