The market speculation behavior piece seems to simply be traders in the pits watching in real-time and anticipating the effects based on expected (historical) outcomes - and reacting accordingly. That leaves you and me to then react to THEIR reaction to this scenario, because we too have a significant (to us, albeit a quite limited) hand to "play" ourselves as the end-users of these things. Our "free markets" really aren't so free ...

    I was thinking the other day: when was the last time I felt SHOCK over paying this much for gasoline, since it first spiked ~5 years ago? We're frogs in a big pot of water, I tell ya.
    Good thoughts Christopher, they have purposely got us used to gas prices of over $3.50 a gallon on the way to $7 or $8 to align us with European prices, that's the plan and when transportation prices rise the price of all commodities rises with it. Look at the prices of groceries it's there we don't say a thing and they don't report it.

    Daddy likes this Mercedes. Too bad I'm not a 1%er...yet. Not exactly good on the fuel economy though. Wish they had it with a Turbodiesel.
    God bless the United States of America!
