Diesel woes !

[Keith True]

Just looked at diesel and gas in my town,and a couple of places in the next town.$6.19,with a couple of those places at $6.09 if you are using their rewards card.Gas is running $4.02,with a couple of places at $3.85.Same deal with some places with the cards,if you use THEIR rewards cards.I didn't study the fine print on some of the gas prices,but on a couple it looks like if you don't belong to their programs gas is $4.12. Just realized I put the wrong numbers in.No diesel in the $4.range,it is all in the $6.,yes,SIX dollar range.

About the same here in western NY. Gas 4.15, On road diesel 5.99.

Just edited my previous post.I mus have ad 4 on the mind,as that's what I was typing in for diesel.There is no such thing as $4.diesel here,all over $6.except for a couple of stations at $5.99 and $5.89.Not trying to make it look like we have bargain diesel fuel here.

Gas around $4.19 Diesel $5.99 in central Maine heating oil $5.15 to $5.49

 

[Russ from MN]

Gas went up a little, $3.50/gallon. Diesel still at $4.45/gallon in Bismarck ND 4/9/26.

ND is way behind times in raising their prices, but they were going up when we drove across on Tuesday, and ND has the wells and refineries, what happens in the middle East shouldn't affect them, but it does, because of American greed!

I bought Diesel this morning !
That is per litre , not US or Imperial gallons .
Approximately Aus$12.39.

Ouch, Sorry!!! Our friends and allies all seem to be hurt more than here in the USA. In SE MN our fuel prices are only up 50 percent from 2 months ago to $3.89 per gallon for E10 gasoline and $5.19 for #2 road diesel tonight. IMHO, our Operation Epic Fury seems to have drifted into Epic FUBAR. They keep telling us it will be over in just another two more weeks, I would like to believe that might still be possible?

ND has one refinery that processes 71,000 barrels of crude oil a day. ND produces 1.1 million barrels of crude oil a day. So the vast majority of ND crude is shipped out to other states. I don't know about being "behind the times in raising their prices", I would think the oil companies aren't going to sell their product for a loss. Is there a time requirement for raising fuel prices? Perhaps the places charging $6 or $8/gallon are sapping the consumer for every dollar they can while they can?

Is there a transportation cost basis on ND crude oil? Similar to the grain price basis as distance from ports increases.

If the high cost of fuel in other areas was due to transportation cost of ND crude, then ND should always have lower fuel prices than other places, which we don't. Sioux Falls SD is usually cheaper than Bismarck ND. The lone refinery in ND is in Mandan, across the Missouri River from Bismarck. Texas and the gulf coast should be cheaper than anywhere in the US since that's where the oil and refineries are. Most of those refineries can't process ND light sweet crude.

Gave the guy a $100.00 bill in Rosamond Calf. at $8.27 a gallon, I got little over 1/2 of a tank? Course I'd rather pay that then to have bombs thrown overhead!!!

You do know that 60% of the oil imported into the US comes from Canada right. Second highest importer is Mexico.. Very little of our oil comes from the middle east. Heck we export more oil than we import.

Greedy oil men is what what drives high prices in the US more than anything. And they will use any excuse they can find to drive fuel prices up.

My local station was at 4.07 today for unleaded, down from 4.19 on Monday.

 

[urbancase]

Top my tank off with diesel today at 5.49 a gal here. I don’t want to know what the versatile 876 buns with 13 shank chisel plow going to burn per hour, ouch!!

 

[k. Stodtmeister]

North Western Nevada USA.....Diesel at the pump is well over $5.00 / US gallon..
There is a song possibly by "BTO"... in poor English......You ain't seen nuthin yet...............oh babbbbaby..you ain't seen nuthin yet.....

I just got a quote from dispatch. Red died fuel for bulk load ( 7500 gallons ) 5.60/ gallon. OUCH!

 

[Scott 730]

Sure would be nice to see locations listed with the posts concerning fuel pricing............ or any post for that matter.

Also would be nice to see what the wholesale price is to the station with the pumps.

 

[GChief]

Does it really matter? The cost that matters is the pump you are currently using

And that really does not matter if you need it!

Yup. When the local Costco in ND is selling road diesel at the pump for $4.44 but others are paying $6.00-$8.00 someone is making bank somewhere! Gas is $3.45 today. When I worked at a gas station in 1988 the margin was about 3 to 5 cents a gallon. Of course at that time the employees were only getting paid $3.50/hr and most of the income was from the shop.

 

[urbancase]

This is what ours is as of few days ago.

I happened to watch an interview, with a farmer on the price of FUEL. The "farmer" was adamant, the "POLITICIANS" that "HE VOTED" for have to step in, and stop the high profit tacking of the rich greedy guilty parties........................LOL !
I believe the Farmer needs to rethink his statement.

They are realizing they were suckers. See it here with co-workers and family.
