Diesel vs. Regular = tie!!

[Udaloy]

math

I just want to politely point out that fuel prices are run to three decimal places, much like stocks. The only two things I can think of right now. But anyhow, the price would actually be $2. 099, not $2. 09/9. Nit picking, I know, but if it's informing...

Topped off for $1. 999 here in Alamo, Ca. Reg unleaded is $2. 099. Most places are much higher. Never thought I'd be happy to pay $2. 00/gal for diesel. Sure beats $2. 499.

Filled up yesterday just across the state line into MO for KS (3miles away), $1. 74 for #2. Regular unleaded was $1. 59.

Why did diesel fuel prices go so high in the first place? And higher than gasoline, what reason other than greed?

 

[DBrickel]

Anyone ever run biodiesel and what does it cost?

Yeah, I priced it a couple of months back in the Seattle area and was quoted $3. 69 a Gal. T hey would give price breaks if you bought certain amounts within a specific time period. I don't remember the specifics. I couldn't get past the first quote. I would have no problem running it if it were priced within reason. All they had available was 100%. I don't know if there would be a problem running it in winter. A blend might be preferable

went down to 2. 239 here at hess

Still nailing us for 30 cents more than regular in Florida!

 

[SGolden]

Depends on where you are in Birmingham, anywhere from 1. 989 to 2. 099. Most places have premium for ~1. 899

Here in N. C. it was at 2. 05 for awhile, then dropped to 1. 89 over night. Stayed there for two days, then went back to 2. 01.

Diesel and home heating oil are similar products. When it's cold in the NorthEast, diesel prices will be higher. Mostly, I think it's greed. Natural gas climbs when other fuel prices go up and natural gas is not dependent on refining crude oil. Greed.



What are we willing to pay?

 

[bchesley]

I was told that a hurricane in africa took out an under water pipeline supplying the sweet crude used to make diesel. This in turn pushed prices up as supply weakened. This was from a source in the petroleum industry. I dont know if its true, but it did seam to that the prices went up shortly after the outbreak of hurricanes.

Well I figured I'd try and make you all feel a little bit better, Here in Victoria BC, Canada a liter of diesel is going for $0. 89 (just came down . 05) so if I do the conversion correctly 1 US gal =3. 79ltrs. So 1 US gal = $3. 37 CDN, and if I use an exchange rate of $0. 83 that makes me paying the equivalent of $2. 80 US, down from $2. 96 :--)

 

[DGFoster]

Most of the Speedways in my area,except one is still 209. 9 for diesel,all the other stations are 186. 9 to 190. 9,I guess the Speedway diesel has gold nuggets built in. .

 

[TboneMan]

Price hasn't moved much in Central NY either.



$2. 24 is the cheapest, most are still between $2. 30 and 2. 35.

 

[Rosco]

I just payed $2. 149 tonight and thats the cheapest around. Some places are still around $2. 359. Regular gas on the other hand is around $1. 82 and high test is in the high $1. 90's.
