OT: Diesel

I filled my truck with diesel yesterday afternoon at $3.30/gal. The previous tank was $3.16. Texas generally has some of the lower fuel prices in the country. I'm just curious as to what people are paying for fuel in other areas.

$3.49.9 here in Monument, Colorado Springs, Colorado area. The other morning as I was plowing snow, I stopped at the Monument Conoco. The sign for diesel showed $7.49.9. Pump was $3.49.9. After I filled up, went inside asked the attendant about the sign. He stated it was froze and couldn't change it till later. Told him he would probably not have many customers coming in for diesel that morning.
 
It is tough to figure the difference in price of fuel when crossing state or country boundries. This is because the tax structure is not the same everywhere. To say that fuel cost in the US is lower than Canada or Europe may not be true as it is often a matter of different taxes and rates. Ths same can happen between states.
 
i havent been to town since monday but diesel was around $3.20 in Hallettsville,Tx and gas was $2.94
 
I filled the truck and slip tank last week for $3.42, kicked myself for not filling up the week before. Yesterday I saw $3.70 in Spokane...could be a tough year!
 
Locally here in southern Missouri, we've got $3.35 per gallon for diesel. Regular 89 octane unleaded is $2.91 per gallon.

back when gas prices went nuts first time this whole area was a few months getting over $3. a gallon behind Houston,Austin,SA
old Bohemians around here just parked everything and forced prices down...wish the dumbasses that make up the majority of the country would stick together like that...if nobody bought any petroleum products for a day it would shake alot of chaff out of the oil market.
 
Works out to 4.53/USG here figuring exchange at par which is roughly where it's at right now.

Yes, less refined, but contains a lot more BTUs, which is a good part of why so many more diesel vehicles are on the road than say 15 years ago.
 
The extra cost of the diesel option with it's variable turbo, egr, particulate filter, common rail injection and urea injection.
Diesels will be of little advantage when the simpler, more reliable and cheaper direct injection V8's reach the market.
The bunny huggers in the epa are busy regulating the diesel off the road.
 
# 3.69 in Northeast CT.It's to the point that I don't even look anymore as I need it for work.

off road 3.25 a gallon
on road 3.50 a gallon
farming looks less promising with each year that passes-I do it because I like it and for the appreciation of the real estate values
 
You can't possibly believe that not buying fuel for 1 day will change anything. Gee, maybe because that has nothing to do with overall consumption. I just love these simplistic, moronic solutions.
 
Went up another 20 cents yesterday. Was 3.29 a month ago. Went to 3.49 two weeks ago, now is 3.69.

I see a pattern of 20 cents every two weeks setting up. Afraid it will be $5.00 + by spring. DOUG
 
Unleaded $3.15 - Over the road Diesel $3.59 - Off the road Diesel $3.25. In the Tri-State Area of WV, OH & KY.
 
3.35 to 3.49 on road at the pump here in central KY. Off road delivered to the farm with all permits 3.01 for a tank fill with a 250 gallon minimum. If you pick up at least 50 gallons he normally takes 10 cents off per gallon. I noticed futures dropped a little so I'm hoping to see off road get under 3.
 
speakin of morons you mite take some time to learn how to read...i said petroleum products...not just fuel...go pester somebody else before yer mommy puts you to bed.

It was about $3.09 the first of the year, steadily rising. Gone up about 15 cents the last 2 weeks to $3.55 near Raleigh NC. I think i saw price increases no less than every 3 days.
 
Well,,,,yes and no. When the requirement for ULSD went into effect, the costs went up substantially. The same thing will happen to gasoline prices when the requirement to lower the sulfer content of gasoline goes into effect. This all started in California (CARB) and there seems to be no way to stop it. If you want lower emissions one way to acheive it is to make the fuel cleaner but it costs more money.
 
Oh, getting touchy aren't we, If you could read, you'd notice I didn't call you a moron. I said your solution was. There is a difference.

Gees hayman here I thought the oil companies just priced fuel at what they thought the market would bear. I was unaware that the price of crude was suppose to enter into pricing of fuel because fuel seems to go up a lot faster than it comes down
 
About $3.59 here in western WA. Just got back from Hawaii, and for those of you who are sitting down, diesel is at $4.79 per. Regular gas is about 4 bucks. Good thing the islands are little! And warm!
 
Well, Canada, most any country in northern Europe and/or Scandinavia, off the top of my head...don"t know about the Balkans or southern European countries...India has generated a considerable health care industry, with people from here (US) flying to India for surgeries, their total costs (flying, hotels, meals, hospital, etc) ending up cheaper than having it done here...
While my wife and I have excellent health coverage (more by accident than design), and would"ve been bankrupt and living with one of our children without it, I do understand that health care in those countries is paid for by higher taxes.
 
Having the best, most experienced doctor and facilities is one purchase that I don't consider price to be an issue. In not one of the countries you mentioned can anyone say they provide better care. Cheaper, ok. Decent or competant care, fine. But not better. Not to mention the fact that all those countries are moving away from government provided coverage back to private. The government can provide not one single thing better than private industry can and does. (Except for armed forces).

And you know, I don't know anyone that has gone bankrupt from medical care. Nor have I heard of hospitals coming in and setting very high rates that you must pay them back at. The exact opposite is true. They take what you can give. My own personal experience backs this up on more than one occasion. Had 2 surgeries without medical insurance. One cost $12,000 and the other a little less. Took me a few years, didn't always make a payment every month, no intrest was added on, and I paid them off. No big deal. I now carry insurance with a high deductable for major illness or injury, but pay my doctor out of my pocket for office visits.

I don't know who ever started the rumor that receiving the absolute latest and greatest healthcare was some God-given human right. Because it's not. I smoke and have given a great deal of thought to what I will do if ever diagnosed with cancer. I'd bite the bullet, plain and simple. Now maybe I'll make enough someday to pay for better insurance and won't have to face that, but for now that's what I would do. There are worse things than dying, and no one else owes me medical coverage.
 
If by better care you mean more advanced, state of the art, I agree...if you meant better from a total health standpoint, I don't agree: we pay more per capita, and have poorer health levels than many lesser countries...part of which, I agree, may well be deliberate on our part (diet etc)...
You're right they're moving out of health care, thanks, in part, to our Wall St oligarchs; on the other hand, they did provide that care for decades, while we, the richest nation ever known, didn't...
You've been fortunate enough to make it on your own, and get the care you needed; not everyone has been that fortunate, and if everyone who lives in a city moved out, and started farming, to live in a more healthful environment where more responsible care was available, we'd have an awful lot of little bitty farms...
Feel free to email direct...Take care (especially with only catastrophic insurance!! (joke) Bud
 
So just say it then and quit beating around the bush. You want Socialism. You don't believe in capitalism or free markets or individual responsibility. You want the government to take care of you and everypne. Just say it if that's what you want. It's disgusting, but get some balls up and just come out and say it.
 
Geez, Red, relax: take a couple deep breaths and reload...(I really do prefer capitalism, just not the 1850's/1900's variety)...
Uncontrolled capitalism gives us horrors like buried miners, railroads cutting the arms and legs off workers because workers were cheaper to replace than safety car connectors, and the present Wall St mortgage disaster...
Uncontrolled socialism isn't any better: the Russky peasants raised more on their 1 acre more or less private plots than they raised on the huge collective farms...
I assume you like some socialism (law enforcement; gov't regulations that prevent someone building an uncontrolled chemical plant upwind from your farm, poisoning your land, crops, family; forcing airlines to maintain safe aircraft, etc)...
Capitalism is kinda like aspirin: in controlled doses, it's often an ideal remedy, but if you take the whole bottle, it can kill you...
