It feels like a broken record at this point. We keep hearing fuel prices will plummet, but gas prices are still at $4.36 a gallon in Nebraska. "Wage growth" will not make up for the sharp increase in our costs.

We should apparently be grateful we are not paying $20 a gallon for diesel right now. It set a new record in Nebraska today at $6.23, compared to $3.42 this time last year.
