I wonder how much fuel cost in India and China. I have always heard how expensive it in in Europe, but most of their cost was tax. I think we pay 38 cents tax here in Alabama. JC

Frig them..... burn heating oil. In PA heating oil is about 3. 23 a gallon, diesel is about 4. 11

dyed oil used to be about . 45 less a gallon than diesel... that makes sense because dyed fuel is off road and hence no taxes.

Explain now why diesel is about a buck higher than off road! I truly hope all these ****** responsible for this burn in hades. yes I am mad, at age 52 all i see now is greed and heartache. I grew up in a country that was a fairy tale story, now that fairy tale life story is a horror movie.

I have a customer that transports fuel to truck stops around Indianapolis. I was talking to him yesterday and he told me that by the end of May Gas will be $4. 00 a gal. and Diesel will be $4. 50 a gal. Diesel went up 20 cents a gallon yesterday. It was 3. 95 now 4. 15. That is 65 cents in one week at the same station. Gas went down at that same station yesterday only 3 cents but it still went down. My customer said that the guy that buys the fuel that he delivers plays the stock market A LOT with fuel. He told me that that stock market stuff adds about 10% to the price of fuel. There is a tread on here about that as well. I guess it will end when Obama or Hilary become President. They have all the answers right? -Jason

saw $4. 35 yesterday in SO CAL

 

[JLEONARD]

$4. 45 today up from $4. 19 yesterday.

That is well more than $1 higher than gasoline.



Even though I'm at 25 mpg the time has come to go gas.

A ton of owner operators are parking their trucks, operators who pull reefers. Keep watching your grocery stores, that's next.



OOs are more successful at pulling reefers than company drivers simply because of the expiditious nature of raw food freight. It's going to be hard to replace the efficiency of these drivers.



This is all going to sting a bit. :{

$4. 79 in my area of PA today..... think i'll get a tank full of the red stuff

Wheres the congressional investigation? Right, like the one after Katrina when the fuel jumped to $1. 50 less than it is now. Whats the reason? How bout a reality check. Should be a BIG campaign issue.

Where is the investigaton you ask? The answer is the Dems run the Congress and they are the new recipients of the majority of Oil company political donations.

We just got back from Death Valley. In Lee Vining (395 near Bishop), it was $4. 499. Got back to Reno and it had gone up . 30 in the week we were gone. Then, in the paper, they're saying how the attendance at National Parks is getting lower. Gee, I wonder why? No one can afford to go there! There's the big question of eating vs. meds for folks with no health care. Next, it's going to be eating vs. driving. Some people just don't get that the food doesn't just magically appear in the store. It comes in those big trucks that use DIESEL! This economy is going to hit a breaking point soon, and the stuff is going to hit the fan.

It is an old Sears & Roebuck trick, charge as much as the market will bear. Trucking companies can add on a fuel surcharge to offset their expense. All we can do is plan our use. Go where we need to go all in one trip and in one day if possible. You can save fuel by making sort of a circle to cut down on milage. I know this won't help some of you. Best of all we need to let our leaders know they need to get off their dead rear ends and do something for a change or not get elected next time. Nuclear power plants and new refineries have not been built for 30 years because of tree huggers and as someone pointed out not in my back yard. There are lots of places not in somebody's back yard so that was not a valid argument. Why is it that so many have to suffer for the ignorance of so few? It is because the more things change the more they stay the same. Ignorance and stupidity have always prevailed and it seems always will.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Trucking companies add on a fuel surcharge but the brokers steal a large portion of the SC for themselves, even though most brokers aren't diesel powered.



So the problem still exist.

It's official! The national average for diesel has now reached $4. 002 per gallon. No surprise to most of you I'm sure.

 

[JGrefenstette]

spotted it the other day for $4. 29, cant emagine what it is now. i think a strike is in order... if we could get every diesel driving buddy we know to agree and pick and easy day to do it. the fuel industry would take a huge hit, and we could get a message across to them.
