My wife will automatically quote and compare the price of diesel at every petrol station we drive by, like she's got oil-based Tourette's.

Along with you, I have witnessed the unfortunate rise in gasoline prices that has accompanied the summer driving season and the more recent spike in prices due to Hurricane Katrina.

Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.

The real product at Diesel is satisfaction. My satisfaction at Diesel is being a pioneer.

I really haven't been cognitive of gas prices. It wasn't until I filled up my husband's Toyota Prius Hybrid that I had a moment of understanding of how people who drive gas cars feel.

But when I came back into the city for the first time last November, I thought every truck, every building was going to blow up. It has truly changed me something fierce.

Gas consumption is growing everywhere.

I fought fire with oil.

One of my most vivid memories from 1974 was the gas station at the foot of the hill below my Southern California high school - car lines snaking out into the street, heralding the failure of the government's price controls and lame ideas such as odd-even rationing.

Fuel prices are at the center of our lives. They affect our ability to travel, stay warm, and feed ourselves.
