$3.66 gallon of diesel in Orlando, FL 2/24/08
 

Ouch--$0.50 more than regular gas. This is getting to be a real bummer.

I was looking for the thread earlier where we were recording the prices of diesel around the country, but couldn't find it. It's $3.75 in Northern Virginia now, or was yesterday. Gas prices have been going up a couple of times a day for the last week from $3.05 to $3.50 a gallon for premium. Ouch!

How's this for expensive...
 

Price for regular gas in Metro Vancouver: $1.15 per litre
Price for diesel: $1.20 per litre

Plus the bloody provincial govt decided to ADD a CARBON TAX:eek: And get this, "to punish the less fuel efficient vehicles". So the carbon tax adds 2.4 cents to every litre of gas and 2.8 cents to every litre of diesel sold. Now that includes heating oil! Those poor buggers up North and BC interior are going to get hit hard by this nonsense tax. :mad:

Yikes, that $4.55 a gallon.

$3.59 at the Texaco around the corner from work. $3.49 at the Shell by my apartment.

Dont you worry we are rapidly approaching the 4.50 mark. It went from 3.66 here in NY over night to 3.77 is the lowest and I have seen as high as 3.99. Too bad the dollar store doesnt sell diesel. :)

I paid $3.49 on Friday with a 10 cent discount. I saw it for $3.79 this weekend.

$3.66? I paid $3.65 to fill my car up 4 days ago with 16.1 gallons. Cost: $59.06 :eek:

The cheapest you can find diesel around here now is about $3.64, with the most expensive being only 3 miles from my house..... $3.75!!!!! :eek:

Gas is about $3.18, $3.28, $3.38 RUG/MID/PREM so its not exactly cheap either

We went up about 35-40 cents over what it was 1.5 weeks ago. Regular was down as low as $2.88...that was short lived.

I have no doubts we'll be well over $4 for diesel (and perhaps gas too) by late spring/into summer. :o

Amazing that the least refined fuel costs the most.. LEGALIZED EXTORTION, as my dad once called car insurance...

3.50 is the cheapest in my area.. its one mile from my house as well

chevron is $3.50

Sunoco(my usually cheap place) is $3.57

If chevron keeps it low.. I might make the switch (plus they are next to each other). Plus chevron has those high flow pumps, well one and the nozzle kinda fits in the filler neck. I was watching the numbers click by so fast.. sooo painful.. but it was fast ;)

I felt bad for the guy with the RV on the other side. he pulled up to the non high flow side. I was like " I've got the fast pump.. I can already feel the pain subsiding". He gave a chuckle at that.

He..he...thats why we like coming to Blaine and Bellingham with the gassers! If I lived anywhere close to the border I would be crossing every weekend.

Here in Phoenix, Diesel is about $3.37 per gallon and Biodiesel is about $3.20 a gallon.:)

I was in Hamilton, IN on Saturday. There the only station in twon as regular gas at $3.10 and diesel at $3.80.

$3.84 in Amboy Washington. going to have to take out a loan to continue to get to work!

Until diesel cost 25% more than regular..you are still ahead of the game. It is all about energy content per gallon.

Except our engines waste some of that, because they don't get 25% better mileage than an equivalent size gasser engine....

...$3.79 a gallon here in Media, Pa. I'm gonna have to start trading my kids for fuel!!!

I can still remember when I first got my car I could do a full fill-up for like $23-26....now its about $60-70! And thats only in 4 years! Thats a 250% increase in fuel costs, but my income has only gone up about 35% since then. (poor college student) :dizzy2:

the brits are paying 12.86 pounds per litre of petrol...

Now.. thats insanse

$3.86 gal this week for D2 at the station I use in Walnut Creek (Bay Area), CA.

Glad that work pays for it (part of employment contract;)) and that I don't.

Littleton, CO
RUG $2.95 to $3.09
Diesel $3.33 to $3.57

WVO. . .priceless

anyone ever think diesel will ever be less than RUG again?

Boston area:
RUG - $2.99-$3.09
Diesel - $3.59-$3.79

$80 fillup
 

The SD took 22+ gallons at $3.55 for a fillup cost of $80. Ouch. I don't even want to think about my conversion van with the 35 gal tank.

Not even close... http://www.petrolprices.com/ shows an average of 104.9 pence per liter (i.e., 1.049 pounds per liter). Still painful though... 3.785 liters to 1 USG and 1.966 pounds to 1 USD => $7.81 / gallon.

12.86 pounds per liter would be about $25 a liter or about $75 a gallon. :D

1.049 pounds per liter is still insane....thats over $2.25 a liter....so like $7+ a gallon.

Nope.

I do that every 3-4 days. But around 19 gal. at 3.80+:eek:

I paid $3/gal even for commercial B99 biodiesel here in Houston this weekend. I still see signs for dinodiesel at about $3.20, higher if you're closer to downtown.

Cheers, John

Decimal displaced as thats about 100.00 per us gallon. Move the decimal and you are around 10.00 per gallon. Bad enough.
Do not let current energy prices distract you from considering what may change over the long haul and how it may afect your family. Change is relentless.
I notice here in Canada that food, insurance and many other things have lept upward reciently. If you are not keeping up think about it.
My choice for now being retired was to increase my income. Not always possible with the general state of industry, buisiness and the economy. If that where not possible I might have had to considered lowering my standard of living.
Downsizing is the buzzword I believe. Must be close to getting harder for many young families. There is no real gain or upside from seeing our assets appreciate either. Just makes more people struggle in my opinion.

Unless there is some giant conspiracy. When the northern heating season has passed it should drop back in comparison to regular gas.
God help us if they have decided to charge us more because in theory or folk lore we get better economy on diesel fuel.
Plus I have to wonder if it may be a strategic move to give the american producers time to enter the diesel car market bigtime.
The differential in fuel costs if large enough might discourage mass purchase of forein diesel cars for awhile. We may be paying to enhance survivability of our industies a little. If the japanese released masses of diesel cars in say a year I think it might finish killing the so called big three. They may be doomed anyways. Remember the japanese will give no absolute accurate date the flood begins. It would kill their gas car sales if I read the market right. People would take a wait and see stance prior to a decision. Talk about paranoia.

$3.89 in a small Mass. town today, $3.57 in R.I.

SIGH.

$3.85 Ventura California

not happy.

On the way to work, $3.57 on the way home $3.85.

Some of the independent cash places are in the $3.60's

In my part of South Carolina...
 

I purchased some for $3.35/gal. I just recently purchased a 40ft motorcoach. It has a 191 gal tank!!!!!! Dear Lord in heaven, that's $639 for one tank at 8 miles per gallon!:mad:

Kevin

Going to be driving it much? :D :D :D ;) Thats like 45 cents a mile just in fuel costs to drive that thing. :eek:

Reckon so...
 

I sure will be easy on that pedal so I can hopefully get a FULL 8 miles per gallon!:rolleyes:

Kevin

3.80 last time I filled up

What percentage of Biodiesel?

Yeah, is that for B100? B20?

Around here B20 is about 5-10 cents more than diesel...its kinda annoying.

I bought my MH about 5 yrs ago.....gas was $1.59 a gallon.
8mpg, yeh right, down hill with a good tailwind maybe.
best I ever got was 7.8mpg with the cruise locked on @ 56mph
Pissed alot of folks off that day on I95:rolleyes:.

I am hopping the price dips again before May when I will be heading to Pa. with it.
I only have a 100 gal. tank in mine so I need to stop more often.

$1.80 for homemade biodiesel

$3.45 st the local co-op B2

Plus I had someone "donate" 52 gallons of diesel to me. I'm set for the summer

Cheapest I can find in Phoenix (Mesa) is $3.57. Where do you get biodiesel, I've only seen western states petro and i've heard they put some restrictions on that even.

Drove by the chevron on the way home from work.. its up to $3.61... as well as the Sunoco

I'll use the chevron because they have the high flow pumps... but its weird.. chevron charges $3.61 for diesel if I use a credit card... and like .10 less for cash..

Sunoco lets me use debit so its instant.. chevron has yet to deduct(and this was last week!)

I think its back to sunoco

I need to see if there big rig pumps will fit my car

I just saw 3.68 in St. Paul the other day.
And to top it off the the Minnesota legislature yesterday(2-25) in there wisdom decided that now is a good time to raise the fuel tax by another 7 cents :mad::mad::mad::mad:
Thank you DFL

Biodiesel
 

Bio-D at T-Gill Fuels in Pensacola FL is coming in some 20c/gal cheaper than dinoD, for B99. They're getting soy oil from a processor in Natchez MS.

If y'all want to know where to get bio-D

www.biodiesel.org

has maps for distributors awa retail stations. The maps usually tell the percentage of bio-D at each station.

1,229$CA/L here in Montreal yesterday. That's 4,62$/USG! And Canadian and US dollars are still at par, so don't count on that to bring cost down!

Bye

Personally I would gladly add another 50 cents a gallon to fuel costs if it meant our roads would be nice and smooth. They are getting so bad that its practically a death sentence to your car to go out driving! I have seen numerous holes/craters in the roads around here that are over 1 FOOT deep. The whole time you're driving you're swerving to avoid the enormous holes in the road. Its ridiculous.

Europe may charge a lot of tax on their fuel, but their roads are smooooooth and beautiful and they build them with better materials so they last a lot longer.

Paying more in taxes does not mean better roads. It just means the Government/politicians just have more money to waste. take the waste out of Government, and there is more than enough money to run this country.
Calif. use to have the California Highway Trust fund. then the Politicians finally got their hands on it, and now it goes into the general fund. Caltrans has to cokme to the table to get their yearly share. when we had the Division of Highways before Caltrans we had good roads.

Diesel at the corner Talaban station is $3.89. took a 20 cent hike. I felton its $3.52. I`ll see what it is today.
Bio Dieselis $3.49, but is only B5, down from B99 they use to sell. B5 that ought to get us off foreign oil really quick.

Diesel well be well into $4.00 this summer, can`t wait for next summer when it hits 5.00 :eek:.

I filled up Sunday at $3.43 at the 7/11 up here on Eagle Mountain Lake (way NW Fort Worth). I saw it all the way up to $3.57 in other stations.

My best friend is a Civil Engineer.
She says that roads that last for 50 years can be done but people just don't want to pay for it. It's really expensive and harder to get through if there needs to be some repairs done on lines under the road.

Paying $3.80 a gallon for Biodiesel (B20) in Arlington, VA. Trying to make a difference (and a statement) is expensive, but... it's worth it.
