GAS!

[Billohio]

Our gas has been around 1.85 and diesel 3.60. There's a Kroger grocery that has been a buck cheaper on diesel for some reason. I filled up for 2.54 yesterday. Usually you have to wait but saves $30 a fill up.

Any input on the reasoning behind the drop in fuel cost. There's a reason behind it their not doing it for our sake I'm sure of that!

The funny part about diesel was when I came home from Vietnam I worked for a oil delivery company and diesel was always less than gas guess they finally figured out during the 80s or after that there were more trucks on the road up the price on that to make more money.

Oil has dropped a lot to cause it.
Diesel isn't refined as much and should be cheaper. People that need diesel can't just stop using it like a person that can car pool or get on a bus. They are trying semis that run on compressed natural gas and heard problems with that. Our farm equipment is diesel only. Not heard of anything else they are working on. The emissions equipment drove up the costs and now we deal with plugged egr valves, odd emission devices that plug or quit working. All of it runs in heat and soot so it's prone to problems. Some are using urea to burn off soot. Might work but urea will freeze when we're not using the equipment.

Our gas is going back up already. PA is adding more tax. Yea, it cost more so it must be better than the cheap stuff. Right!!!

Not exactly sure why but guesses have ranged from the US and Saudi's working together to hurt the Russians and Iranians to the Saudi's wanting to hurt our domestic drillers. Either way I don't see 5 dollar a gallon gasoline for a long time.

There are many contributing factors,but I think the recent production of oil found in Texas,Oklahoma &amp; N.Dakota is one of the biggest. http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2014/...s-are-falling/

Having owned a gas station / truck stop for going on 30 years (and working there for 43 years) I can tell you Diesel is refined more than gasoline. 8 / 10 years ago we were selling Diesel fuel that had 5000 parts of sulfur per million per gallon, and now the Ultra low sulfur Diesel we are selling is less than 5 parts of sulfur per million per gallon. This is what has caused the price of Diesel to be more than gasoline. Kind of like comparing Old Crow Wiskey &amp; Gentleman Jack Daniels, the more you refine it the more it costs. I don't ever see Diesel fuel getting below the price of gasoline again.

Happy New Year everyone!
