I did not want to see it either. Last Sunday I filled up here at $313.9 a gal. and its still going up. We used to get a .02 cent per gal. discount if you prepayed with cash but that went by the wayside too. I don't know what this country is coming to. The price increases of nearly everything have exceeded any salary increases for the past several years in my state. More and more businesses are pulling up stakes and moving out to save money. I feel sorry for my grandchildren and what they will have to contend with in the future. | |

You guys think 3.02 is bad, make a trip to the west coast and be preparred to be shocked. Here in Portland, OR, the average price for Diesel is $3.32, with some stations charging $3.42. This really sucks is about the only way to describe it. 2 weeks ago, I paid just under $3.00, now the price has shot up again.
Just venting.

Call your Congressman and tell them to drill in ANWR.
More supply means stable fuel supply.

Ditto an ANWR. If we had started drilling there 12 yrs ago we would be enjoying the extra supply now. Enviromentalists are the ones you can thank for the price of your gas.

Is that on road diesel? Off road around here has been $2.69-$2.75 lately. I am seriously considering trading in my gas 2006 F-150 and getting a diesel F-250. I drive about 400-500 miles per week.

On road Diesel is $3.59, off road I guess you deduct the tax that is about 35 cents a gallon.

Just a slip of a decimal point. Guess I should have put it $3.13 & 9/10 per gal. I'd have to sell all my vehicles and do more walking at $313. per | |
