Hey, Gas just went up $0.10 here (Minneapolis, MN). Haven't checked the price of diesel yet. That brings a question to mind, again... What makes the price of diesel go up and down? I doesn't always change when the price of gas changes.... Please share your insight on this subject! Thanks much.

I've heard the price of crude oil went up, and that what affected Diesel. Typically gas prices rise and fall based on consumer demand, local taxation and refinery/distribution problems. Here in Washington state there was $0.43 / gallon of taxes on Diesel, last I checked, and $0.23 was local/state! john On Wed, 19 Jan 2000, Matt Jurcich wrote: >--> >-->Hey, >--> >-->Gas just went up $0.10 here (Minneapolis, MN).

I ended up renting it once while my wife was out of town, and it's now made it's way to the ShowTime network. Showtime adds a few minutes of "the making of the movie" kind of thing at the end. They spoke with one of the stunt drivers. He said that for instructions, the director told, "You don't score any points for crashing into a wall, and I don't want to see those taillights." And this in old wide-streeted (NOT!) Paris. Truly is a surprisingly enjoyable movie for our kind of car buffs. And as they say, Don't try this at home!
