I'm not a very smart man but I've learned a few things that seem to work. All pricing is driven by supply/demand. It is always true that the buyer determines the pricing, never the seller. The soccer moms in the bimbo boxes can drive less by combining trips and eliminating unneccessary driving. People driving to work can carpool and use public transportation to save gas. Truckers/Farmers have none of these options. They must drive to survive. They use the lion's share of diesel. No matter the price, they must stay on the road/in the fields. Therefore the pressure on diesel prices increases even if the usage of gas lessens. The only effective way that I have found to lower prices is to deal with the supplier with the lowest prices. It takes time and effort to do this as it often involves research and jeopardizing long term relationships and friendships, but it always works.
