Diesel Fuel Prices

[Armypilot]

The military use has nothing to do with it, that fuel is purchased seprately, and usually from overseas vendors. Also, the US military does not use diesel, all land based vehicles use JP-8,the Navy uses JP-5, the Army only uses one fuel to allow for easier logistics. If they are running a F350 truck, they put JP-8 in it. There may be a few civilian vehicles locally purchased with small diesels and they may purchase diesel locally for those. But we do not ship diesel to the Gulf.

While yes Jp-8 is close to diesel, it still isnt the reason.

It is purely the oil companies ripping us off.

And it's because of that military action it should be only $5.00 a barrel for crude!

[JimLockey]

You pay more than I do.... How about $1.89, Diamond Shamrock, Araphao & Greenville ave., Richardson, tx. Right next to the dart train track.

Paid $2.68 yesterday in Colville, Wash. One station in Colville had diesel "premiem" listed at $2.79. Washington State seems about the highest prices in the lower 48??

f250power have you been by the Diamond Shamrock at 544 & Los Rios? It was $1.89 a couple days ago but may have changed might be worth checking out if you need to top off/fillup.
