$2.21 is the lowest it has been in Utah since I bought my MH in may of 07. Not being proud I'll settle for it.
Clarification: Regular is $1.57 Diesel is $2.21 to $2.65 depending where you get your go juice. Here in the land of SMOG.

(The other kind you do NOT expect to recover)
For corporations...
Chapter 11 - file a reorganization plan
Chapter 7 - everyone loses as all debts are wiped clean
For individuals...
Chapter 13 - file a plan to repay your debts
Chapter 7 - see above
About 1 1/2 - 2 years ago it got harder to file any kind of bankruptcy, especially for individuals because of misuse by a few...but you can still file if needed
Chapter 7 is where the company shuts down and is liquidated. It’s more than wiping the slate clean. The company will not longer be around as assets are sold off to pay some creditors.

Well, was a bunch of us complaining about how the Flyin Js were & the SMALL problems we encountered while there, I guess this is our reward.
Anybody have any more complaints.

Flying J filed last December. They bought fuel last summer when speculation was it would stay near $140 a barrel. Ooops!!! Now they're selling fuel for half what they paid for it. Serves'em right. They'll reorganize and emerge better off than they are now. You and I should have it so easy.
Happy camping!!! See ya'll down the road!!! 
Wow, ok so what are they supposed to do?
They buy fuel on the spot market and can end up screwed because competitors buy it for less since they locked in their purchases months earlier.
They can also get screwed if they buy the futures and prices plummet which is exactly what happened.
Delivering a highly volatile commodity like oil isn't exactly an easy gig. Some of you here act like its an easy business to make a ton of money in too bad most of you wouldn't have a clue how to function in the industry and typical of the ignorant masses think you are somehow entitled to cheap fuel and laugh when one of the better discount sellers of it files for bankruptcy.

He was quoting diesel prices. I'm sitting for the winter, but I'm going to top off my 75 gal tank, just in case it goes to $4 again.

This is a prime reason why the commodities market should be abolished. The traders raped the public and now are setting around counting their profits with a huge grin on their face. Don't worry though, they will be back and with vengeance.
