Fuel prices are

[Bighorn1]

getting out of hand. Is it just in the Baltimore metro area, or are diesel prices sky-rocketing everywhere?

Diesel is a $1. 90 a (US) Gallon here, 13cent higher than premium gasoline.

Bighorn 1, I live in the Vancouver area in British Columbia and pay 68. 9 cents per litre for diesel. There are 4 liters to the American gallon. Thats $2. 75. 6 Canadian or about $1. 75 American.

Bomb who? The oil companies? One by one they have openly admitted that they are going to keep an artificial shortage going from now on. Say they are tired of loosing money whenever there is a over supply.

Don't expect prices to do anything but rise to over $2 and never come back down.

One of the problems is fuel is now more expensive than premium when was about the same as regular. You can't blame that on the "war" or shortages. That is just the oil companies gouging the diesel users because we are a smaller group.



As far as the oil companies loosing money, that doesn't happen. They only make less than anticipated. Also if you look at their profits when ever there is a shortage their profits go up.



The oil companies are greedy and don't care what they do to the economy.

It's official. . . average price of diesel has hit an all time high



Quote from website:



Retail diesel fuel prices increased for the fifth straight week, rising 4. 2 cents to a national average of 170. 4 cents per gallon as of February 17. This was the highest diesel price since EIA began recording this data.

yeah, I don't want to hear any of the " war is to blame" crap it's BS

regular unleaded is $1. 599 and the cheapest diesel is $1. 899

the Exxon up the road just lowered the price of unleaded by . 03 and raised diesel by . 10 the same day...

Yet at the intersection of I81 and I77 unleaded is $1. 459 and diesel is $1. 549

Take it for what its worth ...

Heard some lady from the Petroleum Institute say that the reason that Diesel is so high is that the distillates used to create diesel are used in home heading oil and that since we are having a very cold winter (especially in the Northeast), this is the reason for the high prices as well as the Venezuela turmoil and some refineries being down for maintenance.



She said that every time there is some investigation into the "high fuel" prices, it is always determined that it was market forces at work and not some conspiracy ... and thats all.

The oil companies have had us by the shorties before the dead sea was even sick. It's all manipulation. They never ;ose money.



What we need is a chemist who can make a red liquid clear.

It takes less to refine oil to diesel than it does to gas, eveyone knows that. That's why it used to be so cheap. I filled up yesterday. $1. 899/gallon. There's no need for this price gouging! I spent $40 and got 21 gallon of fuel



Makes no sense, everyone should start running farm fuel.

good idea, but that's just not paying the govt, we want to get the fuel distributors.



what is the most tempting is to run off road fuel in my wifes Jetta TDI, at 50 mpg and a car, who would ever think



We're getting ready to move(thank god) and will be using a diesel moving truck, I wonder who would be held liable if red was found in the tank?
