Road diesel drops to $1.208!

Thanks to the Flying J people at 3850 Idylwylde Drive North and 855 52 St. & Millar Ave., Just wish it was on this side of Saskatoon.
Finally and about time this happened. I`m out in my bulk tanks and waiting to fill up.
Let`s hope it drops more, with the much lower current world oil price I`m thinking it should be around the $1.10 mark if not lower...........

I hear ya Dustin, hopefully the fuel prices drop soon and a fair amount.
I`m still waiting for the price to drop at least a little before filling up my farm storage tanks.....

I just ordered a bit of fuel to get us out a week or two - 1000 gallons of diesel and 500 of gas.

I have this feeling that baring any hurricane activity or any other related events that diesel should drop even some more......
If it wasn`t for the Flying J the Husky would be the highest diesel price in town, like before the Flying J came in......
I`ll never buy from Husky because they always kept the diesel prices up over anyone else. I`m all for the Flying J as I think that they`re the first ones to ever, thru competiton, bring the price of diesel down in Saskatoon!

I agree with you there about Shell bringing in some competition, however for me I will buy whichever is cheapest since they are so close to each other.

Heres something kinda interesting Ive noticed. My truck seems to do the best on fuel, when I purchase fuel from the flying j from edmonton, or the husky from saskatoon. The flying j in saskatoon, and the husky in edmonton SEEM to drop my mpg by 2-3 on the highway.

Absolutly zero difference that I can tell on power and performance.

Odd though hey. I keep track of my mileage pretty well too, and I swear it works like that every time.

I really do love going to the flying J over the husky in saskatoon and edmonton. They make the flying J so damn nice! Plus with gas (not sure with diesel) you can actually get a little bit of money off so it equals less per liter then advertised on the pump.

Sweet deal on gas but I haven`t seen a discount in the case of diesel purchases yet.
There maybe a discount when paying for diesel by cash rather than credit card though.

Yeah that could be, I dont really use my credit card much at all, always debit, and that could be. I know everytime i fill up the 89, and the civic at the bottom of the receipt it has a print out of a few bucks that I saved that day.

Ill have to recheck a diesel receipt, now ya got me thinking...

According to our local Coop the dividens they paid out this year equalled a 5.5 cent a litre discount in fuel purchases for the year. As for the price I just had my tank filled and it was 1.068/litre + GST (Red fuel of course).

The Coop`s pump price for clear diesel is one of the highest in Saskatoon so I avoid buying from them. I`ve never checked their bulk price lately though I used to buy their bulk fuel years ago and I`m a long time Coop member.
