gas down, not diesel ?

Diesel in France

The oil companies may have an explanation. But on this one, my bet would be that the US gov tax as well as state tax on diesel helps to explain that

 

[TRLRTRSH]

NO on the taxes, well except in WA State:-laf:-laf:-laf Diesel has not come down as much as gas because we (The United States) exports diesel and bio diesel to EUROPE, they (EUROPE) in turn exports gasoline to the United States#@$%!#@$%!#@$%!#@$%!#@$%!

 

[TRLRTRSH]

We are in a way subsidizing the diesel in Europe, at OUR expense#@$%!#@$%!

Diesel at $4. 34 in Needham,Mass. today. Down from $4. 89 2 weeks ago. Mike

 

[DodgeWarlock]

Diesel down to $4. 49 from $4. 99, here in Auburn,Al. Gas down to $3. 67 from $3. 99. All prices gathered from local MurphyUSA(Walmart) and KrogerFuel.

Futures today show a difference of 33 cents between gas & diesel. Even allowing for slightly higher road tax on diesel the spread is too much.

Taxes

I just returned from France where diesel is less expensive than gas. I'm sure the oil companies have an explanation... .

Europe extends a 1. 50/gal break in taxesfor diesel. It has nothing to do with Big Oil. This way they only pay,$5. 00/gal tax on diesel. Such generousity. We pay $0. 62/gal. here in Ca.

Lincoln, Ne Diesel is down to $4. 45 from $4. 87 a few weeks ago. Gas is $3. 59. And by the way, I don't buy the arguement about people not driving as much and trucking still continuing on. I am good friends w/ several people that work at a large trucking co. here, Crete Carrier. Last summer, they had 200 loads a day they couldn't handle, not enough drivers, trucks, etc. In February, they had an excess of drivers, trucks, etc. to the tune of 200 a day. That's a 400 load a day swing, they have to be using WAY less diesel right now.

$4. 36 at the HyVee convenience store in West Des Moines, Iowa. It was about $4. 55 last week.

Oil topped $80 a barrel on the 13th of Sept of 2007 and on the 24th of Sept 2007 the average price for diesel in the states was $3. 03 a gallon and Gas was $2. 81 just to give you a way to gage how far oil needs to drop for diesel to get below $4.

Unfortunately winter isn't far away and when people start buying and using heating oil up goes the price of diesel regardless of the price of oil.

Holy Cow. I paid $3. 91 today for diesel! Regular was $3. 75. Back to reality for diesel fuel costs!

Diesel has come down here some, but it's still $4. 559 per gal. We were at $4. 929 a few weeks ago.

Holy Cow. I paid $3. 91 today for diesel! Regular was $3. 75. Back to reality for diesel fuel costs!

You call $3. 91 reality??

Holy Cow. I paid $3. 91 today for diesel! Regular was $3. 75. Back to reality for diesel fuel costs!

After having our diesel fill hoses stretched there for a couple of months, I won't be happy till it gets back to a realistic price of $2. 00 a gallon for what it's worth. $4. 00 a gallon you all should be complaining. Get ANWR opened. Better late than never.

I am far from satisfied for sure $4. 31 here. The CEO of BP said the other day that "Diesel will NEVER be cheaper than gas ever again" I thought wow what an economist they have runnin that company. Its getting worse and worse to keep a hold of my truck.

 

[Todd G]

By "reality". I meant that the price differential between diesel and regular gasoline has been substantially reduced. The same station 4 months ago had diesel exactly $1 more than regular.

 

[RGardner]

Look at the futures prices! 25 cents per gallon difference, you can't tell me something isn't going on!

 

[hammersley]

Pardon Me.............

Yes indeed $4. 28 is a good price. Still $4. 87 and holding here in Bothell Washington. Higher in Seattle
