Expensive diesel fuel isn't just driving up costs—it's driving trucking companies out of business.

    Scary and sad note from an article linked from this one: gas stations in southern California are trying to figure out how to update their gas pumps since they now need to charge more than $9.9999 for diesel and there aren’t more numbers on the pumps.

      Perhaps they should use less fractional numbers then.
      Why on earth would you price anything beyond the cent?

    This is good news for larger trucking companies they now get gobble up those small ones and cosaldate more and more into smaller carriers who will raise prices higher and higher untill the economy finally crashes. Which for them is end goal cause they get to buy up the spoils at pennies on the dollar. We are fucked by 2030 if we make it as a country going be rough.
