[Nubbs]

What's the reason for the rising diesel prices this time. I haven't really heard much about it on the news lately.

Because they are bitches...

[BarryMac]

Fule prices have been rising for about the last week, they say that it is due to Iran and Nuclear weapon worries. BS if you ask me, Diesel is the by product of manufacturing regular fuel, if they didn't invent an engine to burn it some 40 years ago it would be getting thrown out with the bath water. I've also heard a couple of other theries as to why it is more expensive then regular fuel, They are having to ship so much of it to Iraq to run our Military vehicles that it is creating a shortage in the states also, The supply and demand has increased so much do to Baby Boomers retiring and traveling with their big Diesel Pusher RV's or Crew Cab trucks hauling Travel Trailers, who knows...

40 years ago? Otto invented his engine in 1892. ;)
My theory is greed on the part of the oil companies. They started looking at the number of diesel trucks (3/4 and 1 ton) being purchased and the $5K+ option to upgrade from a gasser to an oil burner and figured that if people can afford that kind of option they should have no problem paying around the prices of premium gas, and it stopped there for a while. Now it's typically more than premium and they're claiming it's because of the reformulation that has to be done to meet the new emissions standards. Yeah, it's being reformulated to beat last years record profits. :notam:

That and the US is the worlds largest supplier of Diesels fuel. If we just stoped sending our supply over to the euro turds we'd have plenty.

Did you happen to read that Connoco Philips once again posted record profits for the 4th Quarter, those poor bastards are acting like they're all going to the poor house... :mad:

Here's some info I just got out of a Hazmat class at a tank farm. As of June 1st 2006 the sulfer content in diesel #2 will be decreased from approx 300ppm to 700ppm. That means the gas companies will have to replace the sulfer with another lubricant, most likely jet a... what does this mean??? Figure 50c/gal increase on diesel --- nationwide. Gas companies can all F-OFF! Plan on running additional lubricant in your diesel if you want your pump to last.

[jbtrailerjim]

They raise the prices because the demand for fuel is still high. As long as the demand is high, they will never lower the prices.
I read in the paper this morning that the demand for gasoline was like 2% higher than it was at this same time last year. I'm sure the demand for diesel is also higher.

[Chase]

Yet the price of oil just went way down yesterday..

[Mandelon]

Price per gallon has risen about 12 cents here lately, one station had diesel for $3.39 already.... its more commonly $2.89- $2.95 now... :mad:

[Hardly Satisfied]

they are just screwing us :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oil companies are making record profits today, but they could lose everthing overnight, all it wil take is a syco to set off a wmd, like Iran?
Oil is risky therfore profits may be high.
Instead of gripeing about the price of gas I got 1 of these.
