Hate to bring this up again...........

But, the price of Diesel is getting way out of hand for me. Most stations are now at over $5.00 usd per gal. Being on social security, read limited income is just killin me money wise. It's also hurting the Owner operators too. Do the oil companies not make enough money that they have drive some of us into poverty ?

If you use Diesel, what are you paying.?

[Junger]

$4.15/g here outside of DC. I'm more used to paying $2-2.50/g for it. I think the problem with diesel is that there are a lot less refineries than petrol, and therefore diesel production is more subject to upswings and downswings, which is sometimes good, sometimes bad.

 

Luckily it's still too cold to tow the boat around, so I barely drive the truck around, and run errands in my wife's EV.

The AT4 takes premium and I run Rec gas through the V-8 ProXS,

both are currently at $4.25 ish a gal. here.

Don't drive much all winter but come open water I want to be able to go every day I can. 

Saw the writing on the wall and started a 'gas fund' at the end of last season.

Glad I did, although the monthly allotment might need to be pumped up some more.

Not a Fan.

I’m with you. My 6.2 runs premium and is 50c more per gal then diesel is now. Disgusting

They should just price it by the liter, make it sound better. Gasoline and diesel prices in this country have been artificially low for various reasons for decades. I doubt we will see prices with a 2 handle again, bar severe economic down turns which will depress demand.

With the futures trading at 90/barrel, I'm not seeing this go down anytime soon, especially with what is going on over in Eastern Europe. 

 

$3.36/gal for 89 oct here

I didn't notice diesel

Regular $2.99 -  Diesel $3.59

My son in law is a farmer here Missouri. The high cost of diesel fuel is hitting all the farmers hard here. Most all the farm equipment runs on diesel. He row crop farms and raises hogs also. His price for hog feed is way up because it's delivered by diesel fuel. This all gets passed along to us consumers. That's why a pound of bacon cost five or six dollars.                                          No wait, it's not even a full pound of bacon, it's only 12 ounces. It's a shame too.

It is a bit of a stretch,  60 dollars a barrel was the break even price for the fracking and horizontal drilling operations in North Dakota, which became a boom, before OPEC decided to shut them down (one of the various reasons prices were low then) Oil company "towns" popped up, and many folks came from out of state to fill the many jobs created, hence the ladies...
