In Reply to: Diesel Price posted by TomTex on February 19, 2008 at 05:32:50:
In Texas, current road taxes are 40 cents per gallon. So, if road diesel is selling for $3.35 per gallon you would expect farm diesel to be $2.95. So you go to the local farm pumps at the local Mobil station in the local small town, and farm diesel is $3.10.
So in my normal belligerance, I accoust the owner about price gouging and I am told that they don"t set the price of off road; the state does. Well, I have about 65 gallons of FD left and all my tractors are full. I have some time to investigate.
Before I buy any more, I will be getting in touch with the state comptroller general and ask the question. Then if he says yes, I"ll ask him just what dictates the price of farm diesel?
Gonna bet you it"s just a bunch of hype. Gonna bet you that the same 18 wheeler that delivers road diesel also fills up the farm tank and he has a can of red dye that goes into the farm tank before he tops it off.
Then I am going to get eyeball to eyeball with some local con artists.
