Where are you at? Here in Kelowna it is $1.10/1L
I filled up Wednesday at $2.449 per gallon.
Price is still going up here. Filled up for $2.85 a gallon. Saw some stations 20 miles north selling #2 for as high as $3.19.

Hi
Before xmas we our prices were $1.059 a liter for both diesel and gas,and heating fuel was down to $0.76 a liter.
Then our supplier told us their was a shortage of diesel and our diesel prices are now at $1.159 a liter and $0.97 a liter for heating fuel
They never elaborated to exactly where the shortage is,but i'm 100 % sure it is'nt any where close to the refinerys were our fuel comes from.
I guess they expect us to belive them........
Before our elections (November), I saw diesel as low as 2.25/gal. That station is now at 2.59/gal. Just a few miles away most stations are around 2.75-2.80.
and in Sweden we are happy to pay about $5.71 per US gallon.
I should probably drive something small like my wife's Mercedes
A-class. Instead bought one more old Chevy pick'em up truck
this week and keep dreaming of a mint condition K30 or M1008.

Well oil's back down under $55/barrel but I hope nobody's surprised that fuel prices haven't dropped proportionally. Around here diesel's going for $2.60-$2.70, gasoline is $2.30-$2.40 for 87 octane. Since I'm getting rid of my diesel (unless a garage or shop to work on it magically appears) it looks like I'll be more concerned with the latter from now on.
Last time I bought I was in Edmonton. 0.83 that was about a week back.
Here in Kelowna diesel dropped at some stations to 1.02/Liter. It would be nice to see it back at 55-60/Liter. Wouldn't ya know it, I bought my truck and diesel shot up:D
Diesel prices have been holding steady at $2.74 at the local Flying J here in SE Idaho for the last three weeks. I just put 25 gallons in my OEM and my biggest beef is that the new ULSD pumps cut off my Visa checkcard at $50 and I have to run a "double transaction" to fill my 40 gallon aux AND my 26 gallon OEM!
I just returned from a 2,500 mile round trip to NW MO. Prices near the interstates ranged from a low of $2.349 to a high of $2.559, oth coming and going. Here in north central Florida, local prices are around $2.619, but near I-75, they're $2.749.
My brother in law owns a small grocery store in a small town in central Alabama and he received a shipment of offroad diesel yesterday and the price has dropped from $2.099 to $1.899/gallon. I don't know what the taxes are in Georgia for onroad diesel but the trend is at least in the right direction. Ed
Why is it when gas prices go up, Deisel leads. When gas prices go down, Deisel trails even further.....................
Because they can. No other reason. Convince me otherwise.
Hello All,
I'll tell you why diesel is way more expensive now than about 5 years ago when I think it was close to $ 1.10 in most places. Its going to the war effort, I can personally tell you from 6 years in the army as a Cavalry Scout, the military consumes a helluva lot of diesel. Everything runs off of diesel or some blend of it, i.e. JP-8. From small 1k generators, and even power washers, yeah you read that right, a 5 horsepower diesel, power/ pressure washer the size of a honda civic engine. All the way up to our tanks and helicopters. And I can will tell you that it takes about 5-7 gallons of diesel just to turn on the PowerPack (diesel engine turbine w/ allison transmission) in the Abrams tank, and about another 3-5 just to turn it off. Plus the 1/2 mile per gallon you burn while doing close to 57 mph, in a 70 ton beast that can hit a watermelon two miles away on the move. Man forget my LMM duramax, I want my 1800 horsepower, diesel turbine w/ allison tranny back.
Brave Rifles!
YOU WANNA BE A MARTYR AND RECEIVE YOUR 72 VIRGINS, LET ME KNOW I'M SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT!!!!!!!!!
Diesel has been going down quite a bit in Southern California for the last 3 weeks or so. From a bit over $3.00/gallon to $2.75 yesterday.
Near Columbus Texas there is a Shell station that has held diesel at $ 2.59/gal. for almost a full year now, well actually since march of 06.
The military does use a tremendous amount of fuel. However, it is a very small percentage when compared fuel used by the homefront for commercial and consumer purposes. Also, it impacts local fuel pricing very little, if at all. Fuel for military use is procured locally, in this case, Kuwait and SA, among others. We don't currently ship or divert US oil/fuel allotments into the current theater. Tax money pays for it, and we pay the tax, but the reality is, the military is paying pennies on the dollar for fuel compared to what we pay at home. Actually, it is cheaper on fuel when the military is operating in the oil rich countries. They are currently paying less than $.50 a gallon.Quote:

Very true DmaxMaverick,
I was just pointing out the great power of diesel, how a whole force can sustain itself so long as they have it. Diesel innovation is only going to get better within the next 2-3 years. The military/governments have always been a pusher for more advancements in technology.

Here in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas I filled up yesterday @ $2.30.9

Bought Diesel yesterday for 2.37 here in Des Moines Iowa.
It has been coming down steadily here. Locally I saw it for $2.26, which is about the same as mid-grade gas. This is the first I have seen it for less than premium gas in a long long time.
Just Back from R/T NY-NC, NY-2.75 NJ-2.35 DE-2.49 MD 2.39 VA 2.32
NC-2.39
Back up to around 2.55 now. Gas is around 2.25-2.30.
You all are lucky. 2.39 for gas and 2.69 for diesel (and that is the BEST price I've found on Diesel, some stations are as high as 2.89)
Why are prices rising now?:confused: This isn't the start of the summer driving season and spring is right around the corner. It was 84 flipping degrees here today...
The price of Diesel has been on a steep rise in the Los Angeles area for no apparent reason, 2 weeks ago, it could be found for a relative steal of 2.55 (87 octane was 2.28) and Today, I couldn't find less than 2.87 (87 octane was 2.65).
I really really really, need to get back on track and finish my BioDiesel processor, i've got a 300gallon IBC full of Veggie Oil, and haven't finished the processor yet :-P....
In Friday NYTs Business section <http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/16/business/16opec.html?_r=1&oref=slogin> Jad Mouawad reported that OPEC seems to be content with the level of crude pricing at about $60/barrel... there is no plan to increase shipments , as of now. Last year OPEC twice ratcheted down production to avoid having market prices dip beneath $50/barrel.
Closer to home ABC news reported that a late-winter surge in demand led up to the current refinery downtime for the seasonal re-configuration to maximize gasoline output for the comming summer driving campaign.
I note that fuel prices plateau when the Persian Gulf is tense.
Diesel around San Diego has been about $2.95 - 3.00 and regular is now above that by $.10 or so. The first time in years that I've seen this type of price advantage.
$2.78 on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, today. Cheaper than gas. Regular starts at $2.89, Premium at $3.09. Lots of fluctuation these last few months.
Here in Nova Scotia, Diesel is about 10 cent a liter cheaper than gas, but still waay to expensive for my liking. :mad:
Diesel 104.7
Regular 114.7
Just put 34 gallons in my aux tank yesterday. It's creeped up to $2.78/gal here in SE Idaho. Regular gas is still trailing diesel here, $2.45/gal.
2.78 for Diesel in Los Angeles, and 3.10 for RUG :-PQuote:

Chris
Don't know how long it'll last, but as of yesterday, #2 ULSD was 10 cents a gallon LESS expensive than regular gas.... ;)
Jim
Diesel here in Missouri is now 30 cents a gallon cheaper than gas. I never thought I'd see this again. There must be a little more Diesel in each barrel of crude with the new gas formula. Diesel $2.599 and Gas $2.899
Diesel was down 8 cents from yesterday - 2.77 Sunday to 2.69 today. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled into the station this morning. Makes me even happier that we all napped yesterday afternoon so I didn't get a chance to fill up for the week. Regular unleaded at that same station is 3.03.
I filled up over the weekend in NW Georgia on I75 for $2.539.
Ed
Seems a little odd that we're happy with $2.53/gal diesel fuel....
Here's a pic from the good ol days.... way back in the late 90's.... :(

I need someone from California or New York City to chime in and make me feel better.:o
The best going rate is around $2.99 for Diesel with regular gas about the same. The other day, while not in my diesel truck, I saw a station with $2.89...:mad:
At least it is on par with RUG unlike a few months ago when diesel was as expenisve if not more than SUPER... I believe it is some wierd cycle called CEO pay bonus that drives the price of fuel, I mean, refining capacity and supply. Now that winter is over there is not as high a demand for home heating oil, which allows the price of diesel to simmer down a little...
