    I agree and fertilizer also needs the oil coming from there.

    Those of us with diesel cars and trucks are in for an expensive winter

      I know so many men that drive those big trucks at leisure as theyre provided by their employers, and their employers give them credit cards for fuel.

      Wonder how that’s gonna work.

        They’ll probably put a cap on fuel they’ll cover but in the end we’re just going to have bigger bills. I think the bigger part is those folks that have 84 month loans on their $130k diesels, can they afford the $2.00 per gallon spike?

          Honestly heres hoping we see a spike in cheap low fuel easy maintenance electric or hybrid cars pop up akin to what happened with the 70s oil crises. Personally I’m gonna learn how to use an manual and finally learn how to ride the Enfield I got cheap a couple years ago, gotta stop putting that off.

          Also fun fact we are closer to the 2070s than the 1970s.
