Interesting...seems to happen every summer...FUEL

[Just BK]

Watching CA prices creep up the last few weeks. Planning a near 5k miles round trip to Oshkosh in July. May have to budget another $400-$500 for diesel. Such is life. Planning about 800 gallons usage.

We’re seeing the same here in the Midwest just the last month. February diesel was $2.74 now $3.09

Only consolation...I own Exon and Chevron stocks. What one gives...the other takes away.

Same in South Florida. Happens every year. Coincides with skeeter season. Bloodsuckers.

So I assume you plan your fill ups at a Chevron or Exxon - do they serve up straight diesel (no biodiesel)?

When you find a place with low prices, its probably an indicator of using mixed fuels.

Probably an old subject - is there a list of fuel distributors (a fuel station with a sign) that do/don't serve up biodiesel? On the gas side I think the fuel is mixed at the point where the distribution trucks pick it up. So I don't think it is the main manufacturers that make biodiesel (although a google search brings up Exxon right away).

I get bad enough mileage without the added loss of efficiency of biodiesel.

I can find who makes biodiesel, just not who mixes that in their diesel for retail.

I fueled up at a WaWa yesterday and 1) I couldn't find a No Smoking warning nor a no cellphone warning anywhere, on any pump. ???
2) there was no stickers about adding biodiesel to the diesel, which my buddy contacted them and found out they do - seems that diesel should follow the gas ethanol warning requirement.

I would think...as it relates to biodiesel...vendors will utilize whatever is cheaper as it relates to profitability, affected only by state and federal requirements. Capitalism, my friend.

Sorry I did not answer your question. I will fuel up based on access and price.

C'mon up to Canada, it's only $1.259 for diesel, but, that's for 1 liter. Which is give or take equals $ 4.76 gallon !!

Gas is even worse !

But that's Canadian dollars, in US dollars it would be about $3.55. Still expensive

And just in time for my first RV, in Ohio the gov just did this to us: 10.5 cent per gallon tax increase and a 19 cent per gallon tax increase on diesel effective July 1st.

And for the icing on that cake, they added a $100 yearly registration fee if you own a hybrid or a $200 yearly fee if you own a plug-in.

And our winter weather sucks as well.

I just left AZ where I spent the winter. Last Oct when I got there it was about $2.39 a gallon. When I left April 1st it was about $3.09. Stopped in Las Vegas for a few days and paid $3.49. Went to Denver for the Easter weekend and paid about $3.29. Just got to Omaha to visit family and it is only $2.79 in Omaha. Paid $3.11 at Pilot with my Good Sam discount on the way here. Have heard from friends in Calif that it is nearing $4.00. Saw a news story that it will be $4.00 everywhere by Memorial Day except Calif where it may be up to $5.

$4.25 for diesel today in my area
