Should I buy 1000 gallons of fuel today????????

[Himark]

Serious..for all you fuel market watchers should I call in the order Diesel or keep waiting.

I was going to order it Monday and by the time I called it in it went down a dime. So Tuesday I waited till end of day and it dropped another 4 cents... Any insight would be helpful. (crystal ball)

dont wait to long, but its still gonna be cheaper than say mid novemvber when heating time comes around.

it might drop a little more, but nothing crazy, then again, i dont really know anything.

Are you buying gasoline or diesel? It looks like prices are going to continue dropping for a while but if you are buying diesel or heating fuel, historically those prices tend to rise this time of year due to increased demand. I would hold off as long as prices continue to drop. Buy after the first 2 consecutive price increases. IF you are a high volume purchaser your bulk plant operator might drop you a hint when prices look like they are going to increase. I used to do that to some of my larger customers.

Prices dropped 30 cents yesterday where I live.

Gas: 2.96
Diesel: 3.70

wait.. oil dropped today to 68.57 a barrel.I bet it will kep dropping.crazy how in july the price was over double.

Diesel is the product. I may call the salesman today to see if he would put in the order when it starts to turn.

The diesel shortage in Alberta is for real right now-finally hit me. hard to believe that can happen here. Doubt supply could be a problem there for you, but locally here, it is cheaper than it has, but is "priceless" when we have to shut trucks down.

Some are saying it will bottom around 50 bucks a barrel, still not low enough but tons better.

January is historically the best time to buy fuel. But of course that will depend on the market for that year....

 

[milehighassassin]

Wait, it will keep dropping.

I bet you can wait another 2-3 weeks.

I agree with MH, except for the timeline.
If you figure oil per barrel at $70, it should be priced around $2.10 at the pump. If it drops to $50, we may see the first time in years with it under 2 bucks.

You heard it here first folks.

I run though about 500-750 gallons a month, and I am holding out. My tank has been empty since it hit 3 dollars on its way up.

i sure hope so gas is 2.52 where i'm at

$ 3.27 a gallon at Nelson Petroleum in Arlington, WA for diesel. Keep your fingers crossed it keeps dropping.

That is just not right. Local station is $3.21 for regular, and diesel is right around $4.

Yes, yes you should. And then have it shipped to me. I prefer regular unleaded.
