I paid $3.999/gal diesel in MN yesterday

[Supplicate]

what do you guys expect with oil at over $100 a barrel? Market settled at $101.84, down almost $10 from the record high set last monday.

The diesel is the only vehicle I have to drive currently, and the gas vehicle of mine thats in storage on the othe side of the state gets less mileage. I guess you could say that for the first time the US citizens are finally starting to feel the burden of the world oil market. Look at costs of fuel in europe. They are up around $8/gallon for diesel.

We have to face it, oil companies have realized that the market can take this high of a burdon. Do any of you really think they will stop posting record profits so we can go back to the $1.00 or less per gallon for gas or diesel? Is the whole nation going to stop driving to get the prices to go back down? Hell no to both.

The only way a forseeable change could come about would be for the entire nation to take one single day and not drive a mile. Just one day. Think of the millions of dollars of revenue the oil and gas companies would lose in one single day. Not one person would show up to processing facilities, no wells would be drilled, no oil products would be consumed in a vehicle.

But, do you really think that something of that magnitude would ever actually happen? This is primarily the reason that I am getting my lazy butt back into the oil & gas industry, its where the money is for sure.

They just wanted to get the price up again and see if we'd pay $4.00, yep we did, so now oil comes down a little and the price will level out at $3.65 (it'll take a few months to come down though) and we'll figure we are getting a bargain. Next year it'll work itself back up and do this all over again, just like it did last year and the year before when within a 30-45 day period the price just soared and then came back down to where people thought they were getting a good deal and quite *****ing as much.

Filled up my stroker after my last trip and it was 3.60, parked it in the garage and hopefully I can ride out this $4.00 crap without having to buy any, until next year.

Not only has the price of oil gone down, but they say demand has also dropped so they are reducing the crude production. I have noticed less traffic on the highways around here.

Supp - I know what your saying, but to farm, its like farming in three different European Countries. I guess if I was sittin' in the middle of 10 sections of land I'd quit the pity party, but morning job to last light job might be close to 75 miles apart.

Of course I'm free to drive heck to breakfast to find jobs and then come home to complain on the internet. It certainly better than being a patient in a pediatric burn unit. Guess I should stop whining and do my best.

no worries, most of my relatives are farmers up on the highline. I understand where you're coming from. I just thought I would try and put things into perspective.

Awww, quit yer whining! Hahaha! Come up here! I paid what works out to $5.14 per gallon on Sunday! YIKES!

Diesel is likely more expensive (around here anyways) right now due to supply and demand. Methinks it'll come down in price a bit this summer, and gas will go up.

My favorite it to try to fill my diesel Excursion at $4.10/gallon at the pump with a credit card, they CUT YOU OFF at $50!!! That make me so mad I could spit! And they don't adjust it when the prices go up..........the tanks are all still the same size - at least go to $100 - then I only have to use the card twice!

$3.20/gal here in Boise for regular

2fun

I cannot stand it!!! IMO, they have it backwards!!! paying at the pump with a credit card, should let a person fill up their tanks without hitting $ limit. But no, it is reversed! If I would do a drive off, I would not select pay at the pump with my credit card!! DUH!!!

Around here they just raised the limit to $100. Still have to run the card twice to fill up the truck. We are adjusting our travel plans for the summer.

Still $50 here with the card. I wish they would bump it up to $100 here......

Travel plans? Yeah, we will be staying closer to home and the boat will be used more as a floating dock then a wakeboard boat this summer.....

Okay, I'll bite. How do you get 125 miles per gallon?

1000 miles/8gallons=125 miles per gallon

hell I drive a Taurus and my trips up to the lake will be taking a drastic hit at these prices. Course I'll still get skiing, a jerry can of gas and the drive to Lake City to get pulled by my bud is still in budget.

I paid $3.99.9 here in Winnemucca Nv. today, cost me $124.00 to fill the new Dodge

I feel lucky I can take off on my sled from my house or leave from my parents in the spring. Every place I ride is with in a 30 miles, If I had to trailer any real distance to ride the sled would be up for sale and I would have to find something closer to home to have fun with.

so this kills me. we americans are sitting on a massive oil reserve. we are willing to finaince ourselves into oblivion in order to not use it. I have to think if we would use our own oil and forgo importing it that our costs would be right back to nothing in a flash. seems like a smart move for a country who has lost more of its value in 10 years than in 100. start suckin' on the NPR, sell it for what it costs, keep our money here and help turn our poor azz country back into something great.

a country in recession still spends most of its money on feul, end high fuel, end recession.

 

[skidooer1]

70 cents per gallon in about a month.does anyone here realize there is over 3 billion gallons of vegtable oil used in the us each year?think about that...

Prices now are changing peoples lives! Way out of hand!!
My parents owned a Mobil station in the late 70s and early 80s. I was pretty young but can remember when gas got up to 89.9 cents a gallon and everyone thought if it went over a dollar the world would go to he!! in a handbasket!!!!

Wouldn't it be nice to have those prices back today!

Diesel fuel for truck!
$23.00
Gas in sled!
$9.00
A weekend of riding for
less than $45.00
PRICELESS!
