$3.99.9 here in NH today.

 

3.75 here in Delta today....What's making me mad is the lack of coverage...All I hear about is GAS....If I still had my semi truck I would be parked at CNN by now.

 

That's easy........going south is downhill

 

well highest I've seen here is now $3.79 a gallon of course i live rural. This is ridiculous!!! I work at a trucking firm and the drivers keep saying they are gonna park em but I'm thinking its talk maybe when it hits $4.25 but still that doesn't make a statement. I pay more for fuel now than I do a truck payment. That is nuts to me! I have heard lots of reasons why it goes up and theories of how to lower it. The oil companies claim that it is the demand of it that keeps raising the price, But then you hear all the rumors of the wharehouses fully stocked with petroleum products. I have friends that work in the oil fields and they hear things too. Honestly though if you look at it we are the suckers and they have us by the short and curlys because if a load of produce is on the back of a truck and fuel goes up, the company hauling it puts a fuel surcharge on the shipment. Can't expect the driver to go broke trying to haul it right? So say a load of meat is going to the deli you go to and that load cost 3500.00 to haul. Now a surcharge of 800.00 goes on top of it to cover the fuel price. now its at 4300.00 the company recieving it then breaks that 800.00 over the product. now instead of paying 8 dollars steak you are paying 9.25 for a steak. So thats why i believe they haven't parked yet is b/c we are footing the bill! I think the best thing we could do theorywise is still keep buying our fuel and doing our thing but try to get everyone to band together and just buy from one place. I.E. everyone buys from a citgo and leave all the others sitting there waving there high fuel prices. They will have to drop the price lower than the competition to get their profit. but instead of jumping at the first nickel or dime wait till atleast 50 cents maybe a dollar comes off then start using them and leave the citgo alone, or just drive them in the stone age lol. I'd like to see 78cents a gallon again. Sorry about the rambling guys this one just really peaves me!

 

$4.09!!!!!!! > > > > > >


I will still push my rig before I buy a Hybrid!

DRILL DANG IT, DRILL!!!!!

 

$4.29 here

 

I was surprised yesterday to see our Diesel price had dropped 2 cents a gallon to $3.87.

 

Well I parked my Truck last April when I found my "Beater work car" VW Jetta TDI. It was costing me at that time around $600.00 in fuel costs every 3k to fuel the truck, plus the tires go for $1,000-$1,200 to replace ever 30-40k. So I bought the Jetta knowing that fuel was never going down anytime soon, Now I spend $240 every 3k to fuel the Jetta and $250.00 to buy new tires every 40-50k. Also the oil changes are ever 10k miles. Multi-car AAA discount only adds 200.00 a year to the insurance policy.
I figure I am saving around $300-$350 a month with putting miles on the econobox and saving the truck for truck duties.
Its a tight squeeze getting me in the car, but it works with some lard and a big shoehorn.

$3.899 at the same station same time of day same pump as usual.

I added 32oz of TCW3 2-stroke oil and with the 5 and a little from yesterday added the total divided into the odo miles just like always gave a bit better than 18mpg.

I couldn't STAND it if anything bad happened to my truck!!!!

BTW... this isn't the right thread for this but here I go.

Boss/Uncle is getting an '01 2500 from a buddy of his. It is Cummins and Auto.
I feel like it must have 3.55 gear because it felt sluggish from get go but perked up pretty quick. <edit> DOH! 285/75 D rated rears is where the sluggish came from I think.

That thing has some front end PROBLEMS not the least of which is a 45psi C rated tire on the left front in stock 245/75-16 size and a 235/85-16 on a steel wheel on the right front. It felt floaty and somewhat rattly in my short test drive.

It has a big darn 5 or 6" exhaust tip and muffler delete. And I KNOW I don't want that done to my truck!

It has a big honkin pipe and plate front bumper/cow catcher and a pipe rear bumper.

The interior is almost in shambles! Dash is all busted up. Interior lights don't work just like my Dads '01 1500.

All in all I sure am glad I have my '03!!!

Price just jumped another 10 cents today here. $4.30 a gallon. Still a dollar more than gas. I didn't want to go through the trouble and time to make my own biodiesel, but now. I would like it to be cheaper than gas anyway. Should be around $2.00 maximum. Right now alot of people are going out of bussiness cause of these high prices. Sad how the greed of some, can ruin others. We need a grinch type miracle.

 

$1.31 Liter here. Price jumped 9.8cents/liter last night.....

 

Mine just hit 4.09/gal for diesel
