fuel prices!!!

Can't say that I have checked lately but think that we pay 60? 70? cents a litre so thats about 4x for an American gal so thats about $4.20 plus and thats fleet pricing it is around 90 cents/L now at the pumps. can't afford gas anymore. Your prices are better than outs.

Riggins? Hey ... my in-laws use to live up John Day Creek ... just N of Lucille.

Didn't think i'd ever hear Riggins mentioned.

Reno has been about $0.10 higher than that ... except @ Costco, $2.39.

got the cummins saturday, and i really dont even care about diesel prices right now. its around 2.20 for diesel and 2.25 for premium unleaded

trading the hemi in on this diesel was the best thing ive ever done. i drive 500 miles a week, and im not regretting it at all yet. If diesel goes up, ill just take more money out of my checking account no big deal

Wow! The price of Diesel came down!

Riggins Idaho...

$2.559 went down to $2.399

It was such a improvement that the local Chevron Station posted the diesel price again.

Ain't it a pooch when we get excited about $2.399 a gallon because it was even higher last week? I guess their phsycological manipulation works to some degree. I felt a sense of relief yesterday when I filled up for $52.50 instead of $59.49 like last week. I fill up at 1/4 tank so the shock isn't quite as shocking...

The raper truck stops near me are still charging 2.27/gal... funny, they have only come down a few cents a gal, but the meijer stores near me are only 2.09.. Gettin tired of these truck stops stealin my money. Since diesel has come down all over the county, do ya think they are just out to rape us as long as possible
