Angry This is Absolutly Ridiculus....Diesel Prices!!!

I've noticed Diesel had jumped back-up through the roof in the past couple of days! Anywhere from $.30-.50 cents a gallon more then gas! Does anybody know why??? I think the oil companies are reaming us over this new ULSD that were being forced to run!

2.53 here yesterday. It was down in the 2.20's a few weeks ago.

Ya know, when I bought the truck, diesel was 20-30 cents cheeper.

Probably this cold snap has heating oil on the rise.

Gas has jumped big time here (from ~$2.10-$2.30 in a 10 days), diesel is still holding around $2.55 or so.

I ordered 300 gallons of fuel oil on Thursday last week, I even asked the women on the phone, "Now, if you don't get out here to make this delivery until mid-next week, I am still paying TODAY's price, right"????

I'm paying $2.15 a gallon, if I had done it when I SHOULD have (three weeks ago) it would have been $2.09

Remember, they have to rape all of us for gas/diesel prices during the holidays....................

There's just no sense in that.

After about $2.75-$2.80 a gallon I become a real JERK about going pretty much anywhere. Since I don't use the truck as a daily driver, it will be sitting most of the winter if the prices get up to where they were in the spring/early summer time.

I notice that when gasoline prices drop, diesel raises... but when gasoline raises diesel stays the same or lowers... what gives?? It costs less and is easier to make diesel.

i agree with you pj. my truck usually sits all week and i drive my little 35mpg commuter to and from. however, seeing that it got totaled 2 weeks ago i am forced to drive my ctd(darn the luck, i love driving it ) until the other insurance co cuts a check and i pick up a new beater.

but, i believe that i really dont care what kind of mileage the ctd gets. what do i expect from a 7500# truck with 400+hp and 900 something #feet that can fit my entire family, safely and can put the house with me if i was so inclined. I get 22 empty on the highway and 14 towing. that is pretty great in my book.

2.61 for #2 and that is the cheapest it has been
3.01 for #1 diesel
I don't understand why #1 is so much more $$$ than #2 it use to be .10 year after year. Good thing I don't use #1

Fuel has been around $2.67/Gal for a while now and that is with a discount card. That's down from $2.85.

When I first started driving Diesels fuel was at about .85/Gal and Gas was just over $1.00. Ahhh... The good ole days

I only fuel up at 2 stations, Shell or BP. They are both at 2.65 as of yesterday in St.Cloud Mn, thats for #2 Diesel btw, I keep seeing a pump for #1 diesel(or premium). What is so great about that?

Also I can realy tell that winter blend is in effect w/ the ULSD, my mileage is not so great.

Looks like i'll be forced to drive my 92' beater Ford back and forth to work(sadly it's a gasser)
