It went from 55.9/l to 63.9/l here in Quesnel - I drive a 85 Golf TD for
most of my driving... a load cheaper!

Fuel here in Birmingham area where I buy mine jumped overnight from 97.9 by
6
cents in some stations and 9 cents in others for a high of $1.09.9.

From what I can tell so far the overnight increase occured all over the
eastern
and southeastern US. Gouge, Gouge, Gouge.

Also, recently banks in the Birmingham area have instituted a "service
charge"
of $3.00 to cash a check at the teller window. This applies if the check is
on
their bank from one of their account holders to you, but you, the possessor
of
the check,  don't have an account with them. Gouge, gouge, gouge.

Electronic collections between banks still elecit no charges ---- yet. Just
a
matter of time before they find a way, I'm sure.
