Diesel at $5.05 today!

[Mandelon]

I thought it would come someday, but not this soon. :mad:

[hkunz]

Wow, is that in SD? We saw a sign that said 3.65 last night/this morning. Not sure where, probably the Pilot, after 11 hours of driving to get here.

I thought it would come someday, but not this soon. :mad:
Don't get used to it, it ain't done yet!
Take some consolation in the fact that the higher it goes, the more money I make. :eek: :D :eek:

[BoatPI]

It was $5.15 yesterday in Los Alamitos Shell.

[HammerDown]

It cracked $5.25 here locally...the lowest is $5.05
Just when I was complaining about $100 needed to fill it...I now need $170.00
And probably more next week.:mad:

[Ziggy]

dang it............ :mad:

[kevnmcd]

I paid $5.03 this morning! :cry:

[raff]

I filled up Wednesday in East Los for 4.83 and to day it was 5.01.
Over by the house in Burbank it's 5.09, what the hell. I just paid 4.39 at the Pilot on the way in to Havasu last weekend.:mad:

[Mandelon]

Eek! now iss $5.19. Frikken robbery. :mad:
I am raising prices! :D
In Germany its over $8.00 a gallon for regular, I bet diesel is close to $10.00 a gallon there by now.
And the gov says there's low inflation... Ha, just wait till the transportation costs filter into the cost of goods.
How many gallons does it take to fill a big rig?

[Mod VP]

$5.15 in Westminster tonight :(

[cc322]

5.29 here in Mission Viejo :sqeyes:

[HammerDown]

I can hardly wait to see how much it costs today! :)

[BoatPI]

I am off to Canada in a week and gas has been running $5+ per gallon, and the U.S. dollar is about 98 centavos.:idea:

I'm a transportation manager for a bakery here in so cal, I will tell you that the rigs we use hold 95 gal's a side so that's 190 gals.
I use a wet hose truck to fuel the fleet at my yard and we are pumping at 3500 gal's a day. The first quarter of this year we have all ready put out $250.000 just for fuel. it won't be long before you are paying over $10.00 for that combo meal at you favorite fats food place.:idea:

[boatnam2]

It will be up to 6.00 in no time figure pump price is 6 weeks behind barrel price still got a ways to go.

[John.]

I saw at a couple stations locally last night $5.19 a gallon. I then went and got it at the Raley's by my house for $4.44 with the 25 cent coupon. only got $75 worth though.

I remember not too long ago when I thought $4.44 was insane and now we are calling it a deal?:eek:

[slingingsmoke]

It's half our price in Argentina (dad just came back..) Usually it is double our price for a gallon of fuel.

[pancho]

Filled the lawn mower gas can yesterday never imagined spending that much,that would of taken me back and forth to the g/f house in the big block El Camino 10 times back in the day,what a bitch

[RiverRatMike]

another great reason to own a V10

[lawbreaker2]

As a big rig driver, I don't pay the bill anymore, but my buddy sent me a tex pic of the pump the other day, 154 gals for $710.53 just go the chi-town and back.:jawdrop:

[TCHB]

Here comes $6 fuel.

[lawbreaker2]

Just think, someday I will be making a $100 bucks a hour and still be broke.:idea:

[BoatPI]

$5.35 yesterday at the Los Al Shell...........

[cc322]

Yep love my V10... BTW great pics you have there in your photo album
:)

[JetBoatRich]

it seems it went up too quickly, but it is at $5 now and will not stop anytime soon:devil:
I still enjoy my truck, but now I split driving time between my wife's car and the truck

[grads2112]

I just got back from the gas station and between the boat and truck I put in $400 and drove away without full tanks:eek: :eek: :eek:

[CARLSON-JET]

Oil is trading electronically today @ $133 per Barrel. look for 140 by friday.

[TCHB]

Helped my daughters friend buy a new little car today (Ford Focus) and the sales guy said they only sold one truck in the last 3 days. Everyone coming into the dealer is looking for more MPG. Our world is changing quickly.

[JetBoatRich]

I found a deal today:jawdrop: $4.99 per gallon, cash price:jawdrop: Gave the clerk $100 bill and did not even fill it up:eek:

[raff]

I found it for $4.89 to day, still $130 to fill up.:eek:

[Mandelon]

$5.09 here. I'm annoyed.
One of the car companies needs a mini pickup or a work van that gets good mileage. Rangers and Toyotas are small, but the mileage isn't really that great.
They need a dodge neon sized mini truck or a work type HHR....I think they'd sell the crap out of something like that. I know they are in europe. I am thinking like an open back minicooper....:idea: :confused: :rolleyes:

[HammerDown]

Both my tanks are empty (F250 diesel)...this is gonna hurt.:mad:

[Ziggy]

Both my tanks are empty (F250 diesel)...this is gonna hurt.:mad:I filled my truck yesterday just because I figured it better than waiting til my next trip.
My local Chevron is at 5.39 for diesel, but the station by my work that we use for the dealership was still at 4.92.
Cost me well over $170 to fill with an 1/8 tank still in it.
:devil: I'm gonna have to make my river trips longer so I don't feel bad about all the dough it costs just to get there and come back.:idea: :D

[Raskal]

it sure dose blow at $160. a fill up .$60.more then when i got it 8 months ago

[HammerDown]

Filled both tanks today @ $5.25 and yes it did hurt.:mad:

[Riverbass]

The price of fuel and gas will not come down. The oil company's now know you will pay what every they charge. People have not changed there driving habits.
You can see it on the freeways and even Rice road. People towing at 75 mph plus cars doing the same. I tow and drive my truck at 55 to 59 and picked up 5 mpg towing and 7 mpg driving add that up with a 50 gal tank of fuel. Unless you people change the demand it's just going to go up. And going to the lake or the river for a longer time sounds like a good idea but when you are running your boat all day at 70 mph plus what are you saving. Stop, think and slow down and float more.

[Nice Guy Eddie]

It was 5.23 at my local station yesterday. Last week it was 4.89:( . It pretty sad when a bill doenst fill my 24 gallon tank up.
My buddy is a Finacial Advisor and sends me these monthly newsletters.. this one was intersting.
The Big 'O'
The big "O", as in oil, soared upward last week and has taken center stage as investors' biggest worry. Oil has been a major concern for months, but the stock market was still able to put on a good rally. This changed last week perhaps because of how rapidly the price has risen recently or because it just reached a level that emotionally hit investors hard. Whatever the reason, we have to deal with it. Also weighing on investors' spirits last week was a worsening of the housing market recession and the release of the FOMC minutes. The Fed appeared to say no more interest rate cuts and a soft economy this year -- how's that for a one-two punch to the bull's jaw? The Fed cut 2008 GDP growth to a range of 0.3% - 1.2% and upped the jobless rate to 5.5% - 5.7%. The PCE rate (personal consumption expenditure) is now projected by the Fed at 2.2% - 2.4%. Well, welcome to the real world Fed Chairman Bernanke.
Two observations about the Fed's projection. First, all of this bad stuff is for this year. Second, for 2009 the Fed projects GDP in the 2% -- 3% range, which isn't bad (approximately 3% growth is considered the economy's normal potential.) As the market classically looks ahead some nine to 12 months, investors will soon focus on next year. We have had a ton of serious problems on the market's plate for more than a year. Everybody knows the problems, and the Fed has already taken dramatic action that probably will keep the economy from falling into a serious recession. That is, unless the price of oil reaches some unknowable level that knocks the pins out from under the fragile economy. Although oil prices look like a classic short-term bubble, we see little reason to call a top for oil at this time as it has become a media darling and the doomsayer's delight.
Yes, the big "O" is in control of the stock market at the moment, and that has to be respected. We believe most investors have accepted the reality that we will have to live with high oil prices. Fortunately, our service economy uses much less energy than our prior industrial economy used. Gasoline prices affect all of us, but sometime out there consumers will adjust. For the past several weeks, we have made cautionary comments such as "cool your jets a bit," "yes, there will be pain" and "we do not look for a one-way trip up for the stock market." However, we also did not anticipate oil prices rising as rapidly as they have lately. Last week our Market Commentary was titled "Accentuate the Positive," and we continue to believe that is good advice, but at the moment there are not a lot of positives in the current news. This will change. We will continue to take our lead from the message given by market action. The message today is to retain some buying power for future opportunities. For now, a continuation of the trading range market between 1,420 and 1,320 on the S&P 500 is likely. When least expected, the big "O" will get off investors' backs.

Diesel is slipping down a bit as many stations are now below $5.00.

[HammerDown]

"slipping down a bit"...now that's funny.
It's all a grand evil plain...the oil Co's know we'll pay over $5 (because we did)I still am. So they'lll knock it down a few measly pennies and then club us for a even higher price before the next Holiday or what ever lame bs reason they want.

[Ziggy]

Yeah, I remember when it slipped back under $2 a few years ago too :rolleyes: :D :D :D

[Schi-502]

Here in the Bay area of NorCal I burn 35 gals/day in my service truck. I'm self employed and at the max $$ for my industry. I'm willing to run for Sen. if an oil company will pack my "war chest". Let's drill and pump!

[curtis73]

Pasadena, CA. Fortunately this isn't typical, I can still find it for $5.11 if I go downtown L.A. but here is a little photo I shot just for you folks.

another great reason to own a V10
I'm not so sure about that. My V-10 powered 4X4 F-250 gets about 9 miles per gallon and cost me about $110-115 to fill up. I'm not liking my V-10 too much right now. :sqeyes:

[Beachbum]

I've parked my PSD for a daily driver. Bought a one owner Ford Escort . got 23.9 miles per gallon last week. When I got the truck diesel was under $ 2.00 . I love the thing & won't get rid of it , just drive it less.

[IDRPSTF]

$5.89 in some parts of OC.

[Throttle]

yeah, glad I got rid of mine about a year and a half ago. i do miss it though.

[RVReady]

Was 5.19
now 4.79
im not sure why it dropped but i aint complaining :D

[Beachbum]

Where did it drop to below $5.00 ?

[Propster]

Where is the 3.00 a gallon bio deisel? That will shut this down in a hurry.

[Formula Dude]

Better fill up quick, oil is up $13+ last 22 hours.

[RVReady]

Where did it drop to below $5.00 ?
In rancho cucamonga
shell = 4.89
arco = 4.75

[YldBoyz]

$4.99 @ Stanton Exxon. I still can't fill my truck up with $100.00. In the last few weeks I have seen a decline in the cost of diesel. It will probably go up in price before or after the 4th of July.:sqeyes:

[Beachbum]

I need to top off my truck this weekend , where's the lowest price for diesel near longbeach ?Since I'm parking it alot what should I add to keep the fuel fresh ?

[Mandelon]

Its down to $4.99 now....but not for long...Oil prices are up again. :(

[BoatPI]

Down to $4.69 to $4.85 now in So Cal.
Anyone wee the Arco gas price in Parker last week, $3.63!
