Anyway even though there have been pipelines running to Houston and Ne of there-- is this pretty much going away? Or is there a whole set of older tanks that will heep it seperated? The price at the pump has usually only been a dime less there than south of the red river- but often I could find cheap diesel in Sherman - or Henrietta, - towns just under the border. CNG is considerably cheaper up there at sometimes under a dollar for a gallon equivalant if you had a cng powered truck and would drive to fill up several big tanks.
So has crony capitalism now changed the basic order in OK? No oklahoman oil people would admit kissing the ass's of Texas oil people--even thoug they are often one in the same. But now the Canadians are spreadin out the green stuff.

I don't think the oil business is going away in the Houston area anytime soon. A batch of new tanks was just built over by the ship channel.
There is a refined products line running out of Houston and up to D/FW that supplies loading racks in Waco, Houston, Dallas, Euless (really in Fort Worth right off of 157 in what most people would consider north Arlington) and north Fort Worth just off of Beech, so prices are rather stable all throughout that part of Texas. Any price up or down would just be due to local market conditions.
I am guessing that most of the refined product in Oklahoma comes out of Tulsa or Oklahoma City. There are not many loading racks that I know of south of these places. Well, maybe Wynnewood has one.
By the way.... I can recommend the truck stop across from the Choctaw Casino just south of Durant. And on the north side of Henryetta either the Shell station or the one across the highway which I think is a Conoco, or at least it was. And don't speed through Tushka or Caney as both are well known speed traps.
And the Love's on the east side of 75 just north of Allen sells Bio-Diesel, or at least they did at one time. I used to run it in my 300D with no trouble at all. |
