What's up with Diesel prices?
 
Prices have gone up 30 cents to $2.93 since last week at the stations I go to in NJ!

Prices in NY are back over 3 bucks a gallon and I mean like $3.15~3.25!

Meanwhile GAS is down to $2.43 in NJ and $2.82 in NY

I mean what gives here? I am now driving the BMW more and parking the Benz

Gonna start making bioD if the prices get any higher.

Diesel is used for a lot of stuff other than just cars...Demand in China is pushing prices up also, not to mention heating oil, etc.

diesels are being used world wide-supply and demand

And did you notice crude hitting $80/barrel this week? Raw ingredients are getting pretty expensive. As noted above, we'll also soon see the rollover to home heating oil production, which tends to reduce diesel production.

Hey, it's still cheap compared to the rest of the civilized world.

Cheers, John

Right on!

I understand all this, but 30 cents in a week! I know that it takes awhile before the higher priced crude hits our pumps. Looks like another case of price gouging to me.

How are prices in the rest of the country?

Subprime lending has hit the fan.

Uncle Possum 09-20-2007 10:57 PM

About $3.00 here in Vegas
 
I can understand supply and demand, rising crude etc. What I can't understand is why Diesel is more expensive than regular unleaded gas, when it cost more to make gasoline than it does to make diesel??

TheDon 09-20-2007 11:00 PM

they are also using the old excuse " we are switching over to winter fuel so costs will temporarily go up"

my ass
