Re: Gas Prices?
I am surprised to see diesel is still holding up high. At this time I'm glad I don't own one.

Re: Gas Prices?
My diesel has been parked for a month. Cheaper to drive a Porsche than a truck.

Re: Gas Prices?
Locally our 87 octane corn squeezins is at $3.49 still. Has not dropped any more for the last week.
I would like to mention, this thread is STILL running after nearly 1,000 replies and over 100,000 views. WELL DONE Guys, keeping the thread alive and not being shut down thru any political remarks shows a bit of tempered restraint for sure.

Re: Gas Prices?
Diesel prices kill me. Diesel is a byproduct in the gasoline production process!

Re: Gas Prices?
Funny how things work out. In the 1800s, before the horseless carriage became a thing, gasoline was a discarded byproduct of the kerosene production process. Or so I have read.

All of the petroleum distillates come from the same process. None of them are byproducts of each other, they just separate at different levels. Diesel is just lower on the scale, less volatile.

Re: Gas Prices?
We are at $3.87 for reg and $4.87 for diesel. Goes down daily the last month, yes..primaries coming in November, but just proves the LIES
The last time I purchased diesel it was $5.65, I suppose I should be grateful? |

I believe that diesel is refined even further than gasoline now to meet the strict guidelines put in place, AND the newer diesel owners have to ad DEF fluid on top of that! More money! more money! Glad mine is pre-def, pre-2006 |

Re: Gas Prices?
Holding steady at $3.79.9 for over a week since the big drop below $4. Seems like everywhere. Kinda funny some stations that run a bit higher or lower are the same as the average ones

Re: Gas Prices?
I really don't know what's going on. After that 30 cent shock from yesterday, now I am seeing it down again, at least in some places $3.23
