Diesel fuel prices
The other night, Wednesday I think it was, I stopped for fuel in my truck. I paid $1.799 for it then. Thursday afternoon, when I passed by that same station, I noticed it had gone up to $1.919! Anyone else see prices rise in their area? Whatever happened to the days when diesel was cheaper that regular gas? Right now, regular gas has shot up to $1.859. Those bastions must think I am made out of money.........

Get ready to grab 'yer ankles boys - it's just gonna keep going up!!
The difference in diesel - gas prices have kinda changed with the ratio of diesels on the road. The "higher powers", whoever they may be, are no dummies - they aren't gonna loose money 'cause more people are buying diesel vehicles, AKA cheaper fuel coupled with better MPG. They just jack up the price to make up the difference. It's a load of crap as far as I'm concerned, but what can ya do??
(Yea - you can tell how happy I am that I just paid all but $2 a gallon for my last fill-up.)

They claim its because this time of year they step up the production of home heating oil so they are less diesel being produced. All I know during the summer I was paying 30 cents a gallon less than regular and now its about 20 cents a gallon more. Thats a increase of 50 cents a gallon. I think its more than home heating oil. its PURE greed by the oil companies. If you look they are making record profits with the oil prices up, go figure that.

I have always wondered if the OTR truckers get a break on diesel at the pumps - the answer I got when asked was no.

I have been condsidering getting one of those jettas or maybe renting it for a while or something 50mpg sure does sound nice!
