Ouch!

that was my (usually cheap) fill up stations diesel #2 price this morning..... with B100 only .35 cents higher i think i am going to go that route again. it was 2.99 just two days ago.... one hell of a spike

what are you paying for diesel in your area this week?

what is the cost of biodiesel in your neck of the woods?

Diesel is around $2.48 or so and regular is around the same.

We need to start building some refineries!

Thanks

$2.99 at the cheep place, $3.11 at the expensive place right next door. I used to be a multi diesel owner so out of habit I still watch the prices. Its like the stock market, historically diesel is cheaper but short term excursions may differ. The local story I heard is a nearby refinery had a surplus and sold it, and right after that had a fire.

Building a refinery is like starting a cold diesel, there's a bunch of time from when you want it running, to when it actually gets running.

..........more like making every single component for the diesel from scratch, and then assembling all the pieces, and then starting it up, and then fixing what is leaking and then................

$2.239 this AM in JAX. Bio's on the other end of town but usually tracks about the same.

It is around $ 3.00 per Gal if you shop. If I see one with an acceptable price, I fill up.
Folks, the prices will continue to go up. Even as an optimist, I can see crude price of $ 100 in the near future and that could well bring our pump price to around $ 5 bucks.
It is time for the forum to put together an understandable setup for the layman to assemble WVO in our garages - the timing, entrepreneurs, is right!

$3.19 for diesel and $2.81 for regular unleaded here in the hills of N Calif...roughly 10% higher price for diesel, but I get 40-60% better mileage than with my old gasser (an '01 Subaru that got only 18-20). My 190d avg 33 w/mostly country driving, the TDI gets 48 (still need to take it on a long highway only trip sometime, but 600-700 miles is a long way to get the tank empty ).

Either way, I'm saving $$ AND I am not driving the same dang car as everyone else.

At least they do have a choice, they can use public transportation, what choices do we have here in US?

Bullseye, right on the dot!
My friend from Belgium just emailed me today and this is exactly what he wrote...

"what are the prices of fuel and diesel now at the moment in the u.s.? in belgium we pay now 1.28 euro for 1 liter unleaded. and 1.10 euro for 1 liter diesel. we have very hard times at the moment."

.......OUCH! .....and I thought I was complaining of diesel & fuel prices skyrocketing, while my regular paycheck is just idling.

plenty. depends where you live and to say everyone in the uk has the choice of using public transport is simply rubbish.
