I remember in the late 80's-early 90's when we could legally use farm diesel and it was 70 cents a gallon. AHHH THE GOOD OLE DAYS

 

i aggree with tj, go biodiesel but the price of diesel is driving the price of every thing from milk to shoes. So let's get some kind of organized group together. get a couple hundred people in each state bugging the crap out of the senator/ congressman until they pay attention. yeah i know how ya gonna get enough people to make a difference. start with family and friends and work out. if each state has one person that will take the time to get something started, then that is a start. if we the people don't do something, when will it end? price of everything going up except wages, rich people don't care and the working class just takes another one up the *** .

 

A few years ago Bush passed a bill that says every gas station must have a ethnol pump in ten years. I think the high price of gas and diesel is to head us in the ethnol direction witch means the prices of dino is just going to keep going up. Its a singh of things to come.

Latter and good luck.................

 

3.79 up here in pa, goes higher the further north i head, and we shut off at 50 too, takes 3 swipes to fill my truck up! and i just got the home heating fuel tank filled yesterday, a hair shy of 1000 bucks, and its only a 275 gallon tank! RAPE!!!!

 

here pumps shut off at 150 filling some of our trucks i have to pay twice i can only immagin at 50

 

I feel your pain. I burn about 10 gallons a day to keep my house warm and the price just jumped to 3.25 a gal. for HHO. This is really pissing me off every thing is going up but my wages! Looks like Iam going to have to get a second job and I dont even like the one I have now.

 

these pirates need to be stopped. but, pumps here don't stop. i pull up stick a nozzle in each tank fill er up, pull up to station and go in and shoot the bull. even the stations are hurting. they are only making a living. they get raped too. one of the biggest local staions here said if it werent for their car wash they'd be outta business.

 

most stations are like that, they dont make much on fuel, they count on food and other purchases to make money, thats why little places are going out of business and royal farms and wawa's are taking over

 

I would like to know what the ratio is for curde. I know a barrell is slightly over 100 bucks. Out of that barrell, how many gallons of what?? Gas, bi product is diesel, k1 etc... Then I would llike to see what the overhead is for labor and such, I guess what I am really asking for here is a step by step breakdown to see if we are REALLY getting screwed or if they are atleast being curtious enough for the figurative reacharound....
they keep screaming shortage, but then how are they making record profits EVERY year? are their wages going down? Is the price for drilling going down? are shipping charges becoming more cutthroat? Or are they just charing more for less???? Where the heck is FUELMAN when you need him. I havent seen him post for a while.

 

I saw a percentage one time it was either 7% or 7 gallons I think. Much less diesel than gasoline.
