Off Road Diesel?

[kthompson]

Sometimes, all a person really needs in order to justify something is to ask themselves:
Is it legal. Yes?
Does it hurt anyone. No?
Can I afford it. Yes?
Then, I want to do it, so I'm GOING to do it.
That's all the justification I need.

Is that not the way many buy a tractor? Or most attachments? I have a grapple on order and tractor. Do I NEED them? Not for my income. Not for my business. I need them for my "wants" or "don't wants". I don't want to have to cut the limbs small enough to pile them by hand. I don't want to tote the cut pieces 100 yards to a pile. Not sure the current price for diesel here but our regular gas in most stores is less than 1.70. I have a 150 gallon tank that that with retiring from farming will hold a years supply or near it. However the ease of pulling trailer with tank which stays on it to fill and back to load at my shed or pull to field where excavator is working if need be is well worth the cost of the tank and pump. Tank was bought used and trailer was small one that was extra. Less than $200 in my rig.

Might should have read this before giving away much larger tank and stand this week to employees spouse.

The price of gas and/or diesel hasn't changed a cent in our location since the price per barrel dropped through the floor.

They'll tell you that the price is based on the fuel that was in the pipe line when they refined it.
In other words the pump price was last months barrel purchase.

Funny thing is next months price won't reflect today's low barrel price.

I am starting to believe that your goal is to shut down every thread.

Who?


If you have a farm exemption/tax I'd it cheaper but I don't remember how much

My home heating oil is 1.49, not sure about red and not sure if it's the same as red off road diesel. I know additives have a role. On road is 2.49. I need everything, but I'm not going anywhere so I don't need it just yet. Waiting for the price to bottom out. Not stocking, just restocking.

On road - $2,69
Off road - $2.39

When you think about it you can't shut off oil wells they need to keep pumping. Now you have no one driving supposedly around the world on stay home orders in several countries.
That means all the tanks onshore are full to capacity, all the tanker ship are full to capacity and waiting offshore to unload.
That means every major oil producer has a HUGE problem right now. Definitely more supply than demand. It doesn't matter what they lower the price too if people can't afford it or aren't allowed to drive anyway.

Buying popcorn for this one.
