Re:DIESEL $$

ITS ALL POLITICAL BULL SHEETS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT. POLITICAL BULL IF YOU ASK ME.<br><br>IT TAKES WAY MORE REFINING TO GET GASOLINE READY FOR A CAR THAN IT DOES DIESEL. I MEAN DIESEL IS BASICALLY RAW MATERAIL STRIPPED OFF THE TOP OF CRUDE. <br><br>DIESEL SHOULD ONLY COST 30 CENTS A GALLON IN MY OPINION. ITS WAY OVER CHARGED.

Re:DIESEL $$

Up here in the great white north of Alberta, Diesel is currently at CA$0.52 per litre (CA$1.96/US Gallon) and gas is at $0.729 per litre (CA$2.76/US Gallon) ......... NOW THEN...... in greenbacks instead of coloured money that would work out to $1.23 for diesel and $1.74 for gas! Sheesh, I'm sure glad to be Canadian ;D

Must be a conspiracy against our fine friends to the south

Re:DIESEL $$

Hmmm... I wonder how much it is in Windsor?? That's only a 15 minute drive! ;D Save over 20cents a gallon, might be worth it?! ;D

EDIT: Ehhhh nevermind, I forgot about the 2.50 fee to cross the bridge or tunnel going and coming back, the hassle of waiting in line, the bigger hassle of the border guards.... UGhhhhh!

Remember people, heating season is upon us and all of those oil burners use the same juice we burn. Need I say more? Yep, it pee's me off too.

Re:DIESEL $$

I paid $1.35 a gallon yesterday in Virginia. I try not to buy it in West Virginia as it has .49 cents in taxes per gallon. So a 5 mile drive can easily save me 10 to 15 cents a gallon.
