I was talking to a guy who does some hotshotting. he said hed heard diesel prices could be over $4 in June, but that gas would stay down. And that over the roaders/ train comp.s were gonna go on strike to get diesel back below gas. Any sounds of truth in this? I figure diesel will be a good bit over $3. I paid 2.89 here yesterday.

 

2.79 Today in Lex, NC and it is rising higher than High Octan again!! For the past month or so it has been lower then High and a little more than 89!!! Bunch of junk if you ask me! I have sold all of my Heavy Equipment/Trailers and I may be getting back into a smaller truck--GAS-! Those Tacomas are looking really good right now!!! JB

 

amen on that one. the only reason diesel is higher is cause sales didn't drop like gas did when it made the biggest increase last couple of years. a bunch of bull if ya ask me.

 

premium here is 2.77 to our 2.90 today

 

2.78 here in Florence, South Carolina - it's highway robbery.

 

Diesel went from $2.57 last week to $3.09 Monday in Montana. First time I've seen over $3/ga.
What I find hard to understand is why it's so high when all fuel used in Montana is drilled and refined from within the state, none is imported.

 

Because they can.

 

I paid as high as $3.49 for diesel last year in northern California. Right now it just went up to $2.93 today locally here. Last Bio I bought was $3.29. Diesel over $4.00 does not sound that far off to me....but I don't see gas staying cheap either. It has been shooting up here even faster and farther than diesel.

 

Guess I'll be gettin a moped for my daily driver!!

 

Where'd he hear this on his cb? That's a first rate source of info for sure. Truckers going on strike? We're our own worst enemies and you can't get any two of us to agree on much of anything. There's always a lot of big talk about "shutting em down!" and such but that's all it is and all it'll ever be. As far as price goes I guess the sky's the limit there as long as China keeps growing and consuming it's only gonna get worse.

 

Why would truckers care? The consumer pays for the fuel surcharge. Besides, fuel is getting to be like movie stars. The more focus and attention it gets, the price to get it is gonna go up. It's all media hype and BS, but hey, what do I know?

 

Not to make it political but we need this guy. I like his thinking....

At this rate we'll probably be around $10/gal within 5 years.

 

The reason we are not making synfuel is because GE owns the rights to the process and seems to have no interest in doing anything with it. I've read else where that anything above $35 a barrel and they are making money with this process, anyone think oil will ever be below $35 a barrel ever again? I think GE's rights should be suspended and we should be building the plants for this as fast as we can (side note you can use the "dirty coal" for this process that can not be burned in a powerhouse)

 

In the guy that told mes defense...he's a bit of a moron...anyways, if it does hit $4, Ill be riding my dr200 for 85mpg.
