Hey it the cold snap that is doing this and I would think maybe a little price gouging. Also in your area a lot of fuel oil is going for home owners for heating their homes.
A piece on the news last night of a local pig farm in IN. uses propane for heating his home and pig barns. He stated that the house was kept at 64F and the barn was kept at 69F and the heating bill was over $8,000 a month now. The reason is propane has jumped to $4.87 a gallon now. So I do not feel too bad paying a little more for diesel after hearing that last night.
