$4.20 for #2. Premium diesel is around $4.45 Today It costs $105.00 to fill from just over 1/4 tank.... America jumps up and down, yells and shouts about these prices as so do I. but WHO has the power to bring these prices back down.....

Hey lovinCTD, where do you find premium diesel around this state? I guess I've never seen it before... Cenex and Walmart usually have the cheapest back home in Buffalo, MN, except I heard they just jumped up to over $4 now as well The Cenex is always my favorite, it's bonus when they're the cheapest!

Liable to become a real problem for me as the family company is about to fall apart. Closest I think I can get another similar job is at least 30 miles and maybe much more.

Depends on if I have to have a truck 24/7 or leave work truck at work.

Not to mention a major upset in my life....

I'm betting y'all are paying much more because of taxes.

If you have a Mills Fleet Farm or Kwik Trip near buy as they sell Gold diesel and it has a higher cetane then the diesel sold at Walmart. I use to buy a lot of fuel from Walmart do to the lower cost but found out I can buy the higher priced fuel and come out a head so long as the price difference is no more then 13 cents.

Here is a URL with a list of places in MN who sell quality diesel fuel: http://www.premiumdiesel.com/availability/list.aspx

Its getting close to that now!

If the oil companies had High revenue, and diesel/gas cost $4 + , I wouldn't complain as much( yeah I would) But they are having record profits of Billions! I like profit, as much as the next guy, but they are selling us oil they bring out of their own wells, to their their own tankers and refineries, and selling it at the $117 p/barrel.(Last week Price) They are not buying every barrel of oil from Saudi Arabia at $117 plus. If they were, Revenue would be high and profit lower. Its just they are selling the oil they produced here (non Opec) at $117 for maximum profit. May have just cost them labor and transport, to produce a barrel, say $30 (I don't know what the cost is, it is obviously much less than $117) so the difference is profit.
Throwing the Country & Economy and the rest of us in the tank. They will back off when things start to grind to a halt, and back the price down just a bit, so we'll think that $3.50 a gallon is a good deal, and we think we can live with that. Grrrrrrr

some of the fun of the new 'multi-national' oil companies. the new 'global economy' has been very kind to the oil companies, as they charge 'market price' for the oil that they pull out of the ground in the U.S., and ship around 500,000 barrels of diesel oversees every day, which helps keep our pump prices even higher, due to 'limited supply'.
