Topic: Gas and diesel prices

[ofreen]

I anticipated gas price would spike with the start of festivities. The pickup was down to less than a quarter tank so I went to Costco on Monday where regular was $2.72. It is $3.09 this afternoon, so I saved around 11 bucks. It will be more tomorrow I am sure. I see oil prices are up sharply today and the stock market has responded accordingly with another big drop.  The speculators are making money.

It also takes more crude oil to make a gallon of diesel than a gallon of gasoline...

IMHO fuel for Diesel engines today is WAY different than say 1970. Today maybe they are better at manipulating the hydrocarbons than they were or bothered to be in 1970.

Hi
Can you afford to pull up to the fuel pump's in Denmark 

Diesel is expensive here in TX, US $3.09 while reg gas is comparatively cheap - US $2.27

Diesel is now $4.49 and reg gas $2.98, a jump of $1.40 & .71 in the space of 8 days.

We took a road trip over the weekend to visit our daughter,  glad my wife's Nissan SUV sips the gas, about 30mpg, even at speeds up to 80mph!
