Question on Diesel prices?

[penokee]

Checked the Diesel pump prices today on my way to camp and can't quite figure out the pricing structure in this part of Michigan. Here you can just fill up at the pump. same as with gasoline.
The price for Off-Road #1 Diesel is $2.059/gal. Off-Road #2 is $1.639/gal. The price for On-Road #1 Diesel ( I assume it's #1 since that's all they sell for On-Road) is $2.049/gal.
According to my calculations (MI has a $0.21 tax/gal.), Off- Road #1 is $0.22/gal more expensive than On-Road #1. Am I looking at this right? If so, it's considerably cheaper to run #1 On-Road rather than #1 Off-Road in my Kubota.

Oops - My cost would only be $0.01 difference, the Dealer would be making $0.22/gal more.

You need to compare the same product. #1 diesel is kerosene, and #2 diesel is closer to home heating oil (lets not start another home heating oil vs. diesel word war) The off road #2 is $1.639 and the diesel (I assume to be #2) is $2.049, so there is $ .41 difference between the two. I don't believe that #1 diesel is sold for road consumption use in most service stations. What they might be selling for #2 road taxed fuel is a blend of #2 and #1 for easier winter starting situations. Only the fuel supplier can give you that information. What would be interesting to know is if the #1 and #2 off road fuels are both dyed red.... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
