There are going to be a lot more checks on type of fuel used in the UK One in five are using red diesel and a few are using veg.oil in their cars.I was thinking of getting a steam car.

Don't forget guys, that we are headed into the heating season and our diesel is the same stuff heating oil comes from. Supply and demand. It will only get worse as the temps drop. Add to that the fact that winter diesel doesn't produce as many MPGs. I think I am going to buy a honda civic and treach it to eat carrots.

ya'll may have to postpone Woodland next year, as you probhably can no longer afford to visit CA now.. this is for real now..

yep, truck strike should fix it.. maybe we should all have mechanical breakdowns in front of the pumps, soon........

It also seems that the local store owner might be participating in some of this. I buy Shell gas and several of the stations stay ahead of the price increase curve, while 2 or 3 stay behind the curve with either no increases or very slow to increase prices:confused: . I have seen as much as $.18 a gallon difference. I tend to support those stations even when prices settle down and all are about the same.

Some retailers may be taking what the oil companies are charging them and doing their own thing. I know there is always $.05 or more difference in price between a station on the interstate versus one 2-3 miles away. You can't tell me there is that much difference in the cost of transportation.

Pickup diesel is $3.79 My Big truck diesel was $3.34 on Friday.oL'Grump what part of eastern oregon are you from I'am in Hermiston. David

daverd4. .I'm a bit south of ya in Granite. .dunno what the fuel prices are here at the store but I'd guess a quarter or more than in Baker, 50 miles away.

Anybody: Just got back on, I think after long dry spell to do so. Cost $100 to fill my CH MT765. Darrol

It's about $3.78 CAD per US gal ($1.00/litre) here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and going up on a weekly basis, you're still doing ok considering that a substantial amount of the unrefined product comes from the Tar Sands just 8 hours north of my house and flows right past me to get down south to the US refineries.

Here is another interesting point.

I spoke to a man that works at a local wholesaler and he stated that the prices are raised on everything they have when ever it comes over the wire or fax, phone etc not when they purchase a fresh load of fuel.

This means they may have paid less for that 50,000 gallons of fuel but still raise the price on it and make even more of a profit.

IE they dont raise the price as the price that they pay is raised.

I have a feeling they make a bundle on this liquid gold.

Maybe the local gas station does it this way as well and I/we just didn't realise it?

50 000 gallons x 3.50 per gallon = 175 000
50 000 gallons x 3.60 per gallon = 180 000

with a raise of .10 cents a gallon they just made a quick 5K

BB I agree too that the stations do the same if prices go up they cash in on the supply they have on hand in their underground tanks too.
