If you live in the area of Rialto, Fontana, Bloomington, Colton CA. The 76 station on the corner of Riverside Ave and Slover, just south of the 10 fwy $1. 96. Not bad.

1. 92 to 1. 98 here in north Alabama. Wal Mart (Murphy's) being cheapest, Shell at the top.

 

[GBechtold]

A friend of mine got fuel in AZ for 1. 25 Gal and then he got fuel in CA for 3. 75

this was right before Christmas.



Here in PA the cheapest I saw with in the last month was 1. 97 in centerville and the most expensive was 2. 49 down towards Philla. which that station is only about 5 miles or so from the refinery now you tell me what sence that makes?

Flying J diesel in Phoenix $1.699 for pickups

Flying J has a web site at http://www.flyingj.com/fuel/diesel_CF.cfm



The prices listed on the site are for OTR trucks. In Arizona, subtract 8 cents for privately owned vehicles. There is a page to show the tax rate for any state.



If you can purchase from Flying J more than once or twice a month, it is worth while to apply for their free Customer Loyalty card.



I did so last month and used it a couple of days ago and on an 80 gallon purchase. Received an additional 1. 2 cents/gallon discount. If I had purchased any item in the store that went over $51. 00 I would have received 1. 5 cents/gallon on that fuel purchase.



Their discounts are cumulative through the year so eventually you can get the higher discounts.

Supply and demand! Seems that in one area if the demand is high, they keep the price high, in Cranberry, Pa the price hovers around the 2. 25- 2. 29, go 40 mi north to Chicora, 1. 89- 2. 19. There are plenty of other places like that! If the market in one area bears the price they leave it high! Then you have the heating oil, which every winter drives the price up! The price always seems to go up overnight without a problem, but takes months to come down ten cents, I don't know about you but makes my blood pressure go up!!!

Yeah it makes mine go up also but I'll tell you what else does is when ever these foreigners come over here to our great country they get interest free loans and then they buy these gas stations like sunoco and then they send the money they make off of us hard working americans back over seas to their families and you know that that money is supporting terrorism

Me too, $91 fill up today. That's the cheaper privately owned stations, I could only imagine what Chevron or Shell are selling for.

I am with you 100 per cent, but we had our chance last Nov. and did not do any thing about the situation. Our poor boys are still suffering in Iraq, and as I read it, moale is getting to be lower every day. Where are the WMD, that we were lead to believe.

Thr price of diesel fuel is out of this world and no lower price in sight. We must pray for better leader ship

Check out the homicide rates of all the major US cities per year and tally up the number of combat related deaths for US soldiers per year. I think you'll find that we're losing more Americans to Americans yearly than we are losing Americans to terrorists and others overseas. I hate the war situation too, and if we had a way to push a button and end the problem I'd love it. Unfortunately there isn't (an acceptable) magic button that can be pushed, and American men and women will continue to need to be placed in harm's way for the good of the rest of us.

If you believe different leadership is going to gain us lower fuel prices, I have some ocean front property in Colorado I'd be willing to make you a great deal on. Why aren't the Democrats in Congress standing up screaming for the President to do something about it? Wouldn't you think that'd be something huge to point to come election time? Unless of course maybe more controls aren't in their best interest either.

The problem with the Democrats is they tend to bend to the will of the environmental radical movement, and the environmental nuts want expensive fuel. They want people to feel the pinch and downgrade to smaller more efficient cars, or ultimately give it up. It's the goal of the radical environmental movement. In fact, it's the goal of the socialist movement in general. The trend among some seems to be wanting to increase taxes in order to make it more expensive. I bet the socialist leaning members of the Democratic party (or any party for that matter) wouldn't shed a tear if fuel got up to $4-5/gallon whether it be by taxes or not.

Now since this isn't supposed to be a political thread (or it'd be in politics) I'll end the sentiment there and simply remind everyone it's a global economy now and what happens everyplace else Asia (especially China with it's literally continuous expansion of cities and industry), Europe, the Mid-East, and even N. and S. America. Things happen to offset the balance.

What I'd love to see is the Government subsidizing biodiesel production and research more heavily in order to have a significant benefit to drivers and farmers, since they'd be literally growing our fuel source...

Just paid $2. 89 in the F'd up state of WA. I am furious, what can we do? Bush - I voted for you twice, but I am beginning to think it was a mistake. All your oil buddies at shell & exxon are getting filthy rich, what a disgrace.
