Seeing you are in SW WA does Amazon Prime deliver #2 Diesel at a more competitive price? Maybe by drone?

TomW of Peachparts fame just sold his Porsche diesel and is currently tooling around in his brand new gasser. That is my only explanation for the recent shift here.

HPR has been cheaper than RUG for a while now but it's still too damn cheap. Hoping for $6-7/gallon by this summer. Get the ****ing mouth breathers and their brodozers off the road.

Agree 100%. I always said when gas dropped to $2.25/gal the federal government should have added a 0.10/ gal increase to the tax. They could never get support from either side. On a side note D2 has been at $3.09/ gal here about since the barrel of oil went from $52.00 to $65.00. while rug has gone from $2.29 to $3.18. More proof that if the fuel tax is raised it would come from the refiners bottom line.

Agreed. All these idots thinking cheap gas and cheap diesel is somehow good for them must be out of their mind. They must really enjoy potholes and sitting in traffic. We need another 100% fuel tax. Maybe more.

Diesel fuel here has been $2.99 to $3.05 for several months. I'd rather pay more in taxes and have the pot holes fixed. I turned 81 a couple of weeks ago which means my age and the potholes punish other drivers. I drive slow enough so that I can miss the really bad ones and so that the others don't punish my 20 year old car too much. I've noticed that some other drivers are impatient with my speed.

The problem here in California is the state has a habit of transferring the gas taxes to other uses, resulting in really bad and poorly maintained roads.

All the taxes going to the roads now and no accountability. Audits and no general funds before anymore money moves.

6 to 7 dollar per gallon is stupid

Exclamation Fuel Taxes

No quite but a good thought if Sacramento ever decides to do that .


There's plenty of money do do what's necessary, just not the will to spend it properly and where they said they'd spend it when the taxes were levied .

$5 Diesel Fuel is here in Los Angeles now .

Maybe I should have bought that Diesel powered Motocycle from India ? .
