Isn't diesel the byproduct of gasoline? Because it is in demand they jack the price. I was at work when the driver handed in the bill for the fuel for 300 gallons $1,320. holy crap.

I filled up (Yeah $75.00 is when the pump shuts off) Friday for $4.19. Tuesday, $4.55 and it's up to $4.79 at some stations. It's a freaking joke. $1.49/gal when I got my truck in 03 and it's up 3x as much now and the roads are not even as close to as busy as they were here a few years ago. It's B.S. I really feel bad for those who don't make a lot of money and are struggling to drive to the grocery store let alone work.

Sounds like filtering, refining and the ULSD diesel are all reasons they are going to claim diesel needs to be jacked up right now.
Let's hope the Saudies release some of that stockpiled gas before winter or you guys are probably going to move into the town that Willie Nelsons friend has the biodiesel station in.

My brother had to sell his three big rigs and walk. Closed shop and gave it up. He's driving for a heavy equipment rental place making half of what he was a couple years ago. Sad.

My fuel bill is up to 4 thousand dollars a week! I have no choice but to pass the cost along to my customers. I am not even trying to make money with the wrecker service anymore, just trying to keep from losing money!

Ted, I remember when I bought mine in 05. Fuel was under $2 a gallon, may have been 1.99 but still cheaper than gas. That was my reason for buying the diesel... Most of the working vehicles in this country are diesel, from the buses to the ambulances... Kinda of sick'ening to me....

Guys..........just think how high gas can go if ANYTHING happens in the Middle Eastern oil producing states. And i'm not talking about Iraq either. They've got us by the *alls and they know it. I was surfing the BBC website a few days ago and they were talking about how Americans are complaning about there 'cheap' gas prices!!:
Guess it is compared to what there paying......amost $9.00 a gallon!! Ken B.
