.........Countdown to starvation

Can alway tell when seeding time is around the corner, fuel goes up.
The the next long weekend, it increases again. Then it taoers down until july long weekend.
In the last 10 or so years i have seen this trend.with the exception of christmas last year. It didnt increase. It increased approx $1.00/gallon in the last few months. Extra 50/month.
Im fortunate enough that most of my fuel is a write-off.
