Price of diesel fuel
« on: August 31, 2006, 07:55:34 PM »

Why is diesel fuel priced above $3.30 a gallon???  Reg. unleaded just dropped to $2.95 a gallon today.
In a 30 gallon tank that's .35 cents a gallon or $10.50 a tank full.  One tank a week for a year = $546.00
That buys a lot of quad upgrades.   Angry

I heard the same thing but I'll wait to see it before I get too excited. Now if diesel would go down, I filled up this weekend to go camping and OUCH. We just bought a Honda Civic to drive around town and parked the truck and Suburban as much as we can. We figured we will save more in gas then the car payment.

Did you all see on the news today that the major oil companys found one of the biggest deposits of oil in history off the coast of louisana. They said on the news that gas prices should really drop when they start pumping oil there.

I still think that the oil companys are gouging us because of the war.

Maybe the prices will be down below $2.00 again. I know it's wishful thinking, but I like to dream.

The spread in price from diesel to reg. gas is now .53 cents a gallon.  At thirty gallons a week .53 x 30 = $15.90 x 52 weeks = $826.80.  Cry

Is it time to go get a big block?

Except you forget the gas mileage in a diesel is quite a bit higher than a gas truck when towing a decent sixed trailer.   Wink

It's a sad thing to think that we are now getting good fuel prices. I just hope to see them keep droping.
