Singin' Sue 71615 Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 $75 got me 21 gal of Diesel. I'm thankful I can pay it, but not at all happy with the price!
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted November 4, 2021 Posted November 4, 2021 Sorry, Sue. Gas and everything else is going to keep going up until at least the 2022 election. Hopefully things will go our way, (unless they steal that one too), and things will be able to be stabilized.

Doc X Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 $84 for 27 gallons of gas in Indiana yesterday and that was with a .40 per gallon discount.

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 $2.92 / gallon here, for gasoline. I got rid of my diesel a few years back, since it was a lot more expensive than gasoline. Thank you bill clinton...you numbskull. Maybe I need to write a 4th ode...this time to the high price of gasoline. W.K.
Maddog McCoy SASS #5672 Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 I filled up yesterday at the cheap station in town. 21.434 Gals for $75.00, $3.499 per gallon. Walmart was $.05 higher. I was talking with my Ex-wife yesterday and she stated gas was $3.659 in Plainfield by Joliet, IL. (Chicago far south suburbs) Makes me happy I am 300 miles south of there. However, I am still in Illinois.

Wallaby Jack, SASS #44062 Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 3.785 litres in a US gallon ........... ....... now I are depressed
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Most of my trips are 7 miles or less once a week so the last time I filled up, I stopped the pump at $20.
Clay Mosby Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Gas is up just a hair under $2/gal at Sam's, over $2/gal in non-membership stations. Thank You Sooooo Much #FJB
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 I snapped the picture below Thursday afternoon in Gorman, California, just off Interstate 5. Noted that Chevron is almost pricier than other brands; however, I'd see stations with posted prices at least 20 - 40 cents/gallon higher earlier in Santa Monica - again, an admittedly "high rent district." But it's indicative of the direction we're headed. Earlier on Thursday, Bank of America analysts predicted that by June oil will see about a 45% increase over today's prices ($79.63/bbl). Brace yourselves; before summer, in areas like where I live (Central Valley) we could be seeing gasoline at over six bucks a gallon - for regular. More like $7+ for "premium," which a bunch of cars still like. Folks in places like Gorman and Santa Monica will be paying a LOT more! People in the current administration undoubtedly will see this as a good thing, as it will lead to a significant reduction in travel and fuel consumption - it'll save the planet fer sure. The only good I see coming of this is that most people with any sense at all will realize the impact on their lives, and remember how much better life was under the previous administration.
Barry Sloe Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Diesel here is running $3.80 to $4.40 per gallon depending on the area of town. Last week some stations jumped 40 cents! It's crazy. BS
Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 The prices are all over the place and there's little rhyme or reason to it. I paid 3.14 with a discount card yesterday (middle of the city on a busy road) and saw prices from 3.17 to 3.49 (out in the country in a small town 30 miles from anywhere) depending on where I was this week with 3.19 to 3.29 being the norm.

Believe it or not, as outdoorsie, historical-and-modern old westie, cowboyish and cowgirlish, and independent as we are here in Central Arizona we have a number of high schools and several different kinds of colleges right here locally and Phoenix is driving distance with lots more colleges, trade schools and the like. Give it a bit of thought. I'm pretty sure I saw you thinking a bit from time to time.

My wife and I will be in space 20 the Sunday before thru the completion of EOT and we may need to give Shanley and Sue some help with their adult beverages. Not sure who is organizing the potluck this year but the Colorado contingent usually have one on Tuesday or Wednesday evening and of course the wildly beautiful and mysterious Singin' Sue and her other half are invited so you may as well come too. regards Gateway Kid
Sixgun Sheridan Posted November 5, 2021 Posted November 5, 2021 Gas averages $3.99/gal here in western WA. Most of it is just taxes!

Empty on the highway I get about 20 mpg without a trailer. 2008 F350 with 6.4 liter. with a trailer I get 13 mpg or so (11,000 pound 39 foot 5th wheel) as an average. Around town about 14-16 depending more on idle time than anything. But hey I have heard you new mexico hunters are a creative bunch, willing to try just about anything in search of wild game! Just remember when you get your deer (or elk) only one will fit in the back seat of a rabbit (BTDT) and the other is lashed to the roof! Love ya girl and good luck! Gateway Kid

Gateway Kid A diesel rabbit would be over 40 mpg. Had a few of them. Heck last time diesel was around $5/gallon even that cost almost $75 to fill. Unfortunately for my wallet, I am driving a pickup again and the epa has effectively made diesels no longer a good choice. Between the nox standards, dpf, and low sulfer diesel it’s almost impossible to make a diesel more efficient enough to offset the cost difference.
