fuel prices

I was lucky enough to get to pay 489 a gallon yesterday for diesel, so much for cheap oil.

That's pretty pricey!:shock:

[starmac]

LOL, I just bought enough for a little insurance.

[JSnover]

$2.40 for diesel, $1.93 for regular gas in Trenton NJ.

[Greg S]

Not in Squarebanks? Where were you at? I couldn't believe the price at the pump last week, like $2.70. Haven't seen those prices in awhile. Unleaded btw. Might have been closer to 2.40, i just noticed it has been awhile, a long while.

[starmac]

LOL Diesel is 3.11, gas went down to 2.97 a couple of days ago here in fairbanks, but I had to buy a few gallons in Coldfoot, at least I didn't have to get it on the slope. lol

It turned out I didn't need it, but a couple of hundred bucks was cheap insurance.

[bangerjim]

$1.85 for unleaded here in the desert SW. And falling every day! Too bad for those that use deeeeesel! It is always a ton more than gasoline. Go figure!

[AllanD]

Diesel has been around $2.60 +/_ $0.10 for months around here...

I'm in NE Pennsylvania (I'm about halfway between (but a bit west of) Allentown and Stroudsburg) in a
not quite rural area...

Thats what I figured. Was up in Deadhorse this past winter when the road was flooding out. There was a big scare on gas availabikity but I never noticed it. Food was getting alittle slim dismal at camp but then it ain't 5* accomidations.

Its not like you can stop at the next exit. Better to have, then have not.

[GabbyM]

I enjoyed a couple weeks with D2 cheaper than gas. Then home heating oil and farm harvest seasons kicked in. We are supposed to have a mild winter so maybe HHO won't suck up so much fuel oil.

[mac60]

$2.29 here in the deep south.

[Frank46]

Regular unleaded 1.96. and diesel 2.19 Frank

[runfiverun]

diesel and gas were both the same price here for a little while.

the last 2 day's has changed that, prices have dropped about 10 cents a gallon.

[fg-machine]

gasoline and diesel fuel prices change quite often here , in the last month gasoline has gone from the $2.00 low to a $2.70 high so many times it would make your head spin , i have seen 30 cent swings from am to pm prices .
dont like todays price ? roll the dice and wait 12 hours its going to change

[jcwit]

Gas in Fort Wayne, $2.09, Gas in Indy $1.99.

[Freightman]

Nephew filled up for $1.79 in the Panhandle

[dragon813gt]

$2.33 in SE PA. It hasn't budged in months. It's fluctuated a little but it seems to be stuck. I saw gas as low as $1.92 and diesel at $2.15 in Texas.

[jonp]

Diesel is $2.20 at our fuel stop in Goldsboro, NC

[HarryT]

I've been told you Alaskans have high prices just to keep us poor retirees out of your beautiful state.

[snowwolfe]

$1.85 here in Tennessee today. And get this, before I moved out of Colorado last week got a notice my wife's registration fees to renew her used Camry for one year was $300. Here I walked into the local courthouse (with no lines) and paid $24!!!!!
Man am I glad we moved.

[Beau Cassidy]

Snow don't be telling everybody that!!! Before long they will all be wanting to move here. I am just down the road from you about 20 or 30 miles.

[HarryT]

It takes a lot more tax money to keep those Liberals happy.

[TXGunNut]

Nephew filled up for $1.79 in the Panhandle

Saw that on the way thru, gas in your neck of the woods was a bit higher. Highest fuel prices I saw in my juggernaut was around $2.60 for "regular" unleaded; quite often "regular" was 85 (or 84) octane and my car prefers 87 octane. More than once I paid close to $3 for what I consider "regular" unleaded.
It was a pleasure meeting you for lunch last week @ Big Texan Steakhouse, I stopped there for lunch today, couldn't help but think about our visit.

[Harter66]

$2.57 and 2.64 here a quarter more over the line in Ca down us395 and a quarter less on up US 95 and across most of I80 to at least Elko.

[dtknowles]

regular was $1.799 yesterday when I filled up.

Sunday I bought gas in Big Spring, TX for $1.779. When I got home 100 miles away it was about 40 cents/gallon higher. We have 'special pricing' for everything where I live. Now, while I like that low price at the filling station just like everyone else does, it's not a good thing overall. We've lost 2/3 of our staff (about 1,000 employees) due to low oil prices compared to the staff we had 15 months ago. I'm just thankful to still have a job at the depressed oil prices.

David

[jsizemore]

Didn't need gas but saw $1.999/gal gas at the local RESCO station. I couldn't stand it so I whipped in and topped off. I saw a rerun NYPD blue that showed gas at $1.789 for regular and $1.899 for premium. Good to be near the old days price.

[dtknowles]

Low oil prices are hurting a lot of people around the world and many of them are our enemies. I am sorry for those out of work oil workers but low oil prices are generally good for most of us. Remember when the news was we would run out of oil and the price would go through the roof. We were trying to build planes that would run on Hydrogen or oil made from algae. :veryconfu

[bullet maker 57]

Cheapest gas here is $2.199 and Diesel is under $3.00.

[Ole Joe Clarke]

I paid $1.78 gal for gas yesterday, (10-28) for my ole truck. I would be willing to pay more for domestic fuel and let our so called Arab friends drown in theirs.

[dtknowles]

We already don't let any U.S. crude be exported, adding an import duty might be seen as overly protectionist. I wonder what the backlash would be like to an increased import duty on oil.

It would not just be the Arabs, Venezuela, Russia, Mexico and Canada that would be hurt unless we cut special deals for Canada and Mexico.

The cheaper to make diesel costs more at the pump because states have greatly increased fuel tax on it to collect more money from the 18 wheelers that drink the stuff.

[jkl1861]

A couple days ago it was $2.25/gal for both diesel and gasoline here in central Oklahoma - but that's true dino-diesel (no bio-blend) and 100% gasoline (no ethanol). The government subsidized bio/ethanol blends are a little cheaper if you want them.

[snowwolfe]

Paid $1.75 for regular unleaded in southern Tennessee today:)
I just love these low prices!!!!!

[TXGunNut]

State taxes pay for roads, 18 wheelers are harder on roads than four wheelers. Whether or not it's fair I can't say. I can assure you, however, that life isn't fair.

[starmac]

I bet plenty of the taxes gets shuffled around and used for much more than roads. I am not sure that trucks actually put any more pounds on a road as cars do, I do know that when pavement is actually rutted, the ruts are too close together for trucks to fit in them.

I live in a semi-rural area where the roads are underbuilt and the trucks are overloaded. The last few miles to my house change weekly, some of my neighbors refuse to slow down even on damaged roads. Taxes shuffled around is hardly a new concept, been around almost as long as taxes. Yes, I understand that road taxes are passed on the consumer of the goods hauled.
Several years ago I was at a weigh station when an overloaded truck passed close by. I felt the pavement move. Pavement is designed for a specific load. Loads exceeding that design parameter will eventually damage the road and all that use or pay for that road will eventually have to pay for it, one way or the other.

[starmac]

LOL I hear you on the pavement moving, but it does with all loads, even cars, just not near as noticable. If you really want to feel movement stand on a big bridge, it might make you want to never cross one again.
I worked on railroads along the gulf coast, Talk about movement. Back when the joints were bolted, you could stand there and watch any joint dip 6 to 10 inches every time wheels went over it.
If you think Texas has bad roads, go to any three bordering states and cross back into Texas and note how much smoother the road is right at the state line. I don't know about the last few years, but you used to be able to tell the state line by feel and it didn't matter if you were on the interstate, farm to market road or even a dirt road.

[shooter93]

Diesel is still up a bit here but I got the propane tank filled today....89 cents a gallon....cheaper than I have ever seen it since I built the house decades ago.

Yes, Texas roads are pretty bad. The ones in the panhandle were worse than anything I drove thru Colorado and Wyoming last week. I-25 is a pretty nice road. As you know a bridge must move or it will break, I remember one S of here that I hated to stop on because the movement was a bit unnerving. If you look at the underside of a bridge you can sometimes see where it flexes. I've watched some train tracks move a few inches as a train passes, pretty impressive.
