With all the recent noise about Gas prices going up, just curious as to what folks are paying now.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif


$1.67 to $1.77 seems to be the norm here in Frederick, MD


$1.79 at the Hess in Cockeysville, MD


The local Gas Stations, seem to feel diesel is a Super Premium, charging as much for it as they get for premium. Probably plenty of water in those little tanks, at those prices.

$1.61 at Flying J in Northern Utah. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Disapprove.gif

$1.97 for diesel, gas is way over 2 bucks.

Northern CA: 1.87 diesel 2.13 unleaded

The most I have paid in more then a year was $1.599. (This was in Grand Rapids, Michigan last fall) But it has creaped up to that at the nearest Flying-J truck stop. But with my one cent per gallon savings, I`m saving up for more modshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif


But if I wanted the good stuff, I would pay the asking price of a $1.799 at most of the filling stations, or are they service stations?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Approve.gif


Then again, I could have kept my last truck with the Hypertech chip and still be paying a buck 99 for EthelEdited by: hdmax

$1.47 here south of KC at the Flying J

1.62 to 1.74 around here.

1.77 to 1.92 here in vegas

$1.57 to $1.65 here in New Jersey

In southern VT/north-central MA, prices have actually dropped about 2 cents in the last week, and are in the $1.75 to $1.83 range. These are smaller stations, not major truck stops. Also, I think the blend is changing to a Spring blend as mileage is improving.


As the heating season ends in areas where heating oil is commonly used, a reduction in prices in Spring is common.

$1.699-179.9 in Gainesville, Florida area. It's a little cheaper down near Ocala.

Here in NY 181.9 -198.9

Gee, I almost feel guilty paying $1.509 at a Shell station or $1.549 at Conoco.

About $1.45 per gallon here at the Winchester, Va Flying J gas is $1.59 per gallon.


Still pretty cheap from what you guys are saying.

here in dallas tx there are 2 shells that sell for 1.51 every where else is 1.55 and up

Just paid $1.359 at the J north of OKC.

SoCal: $1.90 - $2.00 diesel $2.10 - $2.15 unleaded 87 octane gas

1.45 in Knoxville, TN, 1.51 in Columbus GA... and humming along at 22 mpg with the camper shell... yeeehaw!

I just filled up at the Flying J in Beaverdam, OH for $1.599 per gallon.

It's interesting to see how many of you guys frequent Flying J truckstops. I know I've always been happy with their fuel, plus their price is usually the best around. You can even check out diesel & gas prices all over the US on their website, flyingj.com . Of course, if everyone does that, we wouldn't have interesting posts like this one, would we? http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Ermm.gif

deadfurrow, I try to hit a Flying J whenever possible when on the road. No stations local to me here in Ohio. Diesel has been holding at $1.645 here. Funny thing though, there was always a disparity of several cents per gallon among the stations here, but for the last couple of weeks they have all been "uniform" at $1.645!

This is sort of off-topic, but since so many use Flying J fuel, it seems appropriate. I have noticed the last few months the fuel is fluorescent green at the J. I can't say I noticed this the last year or so before last fall, but since everytime I fill it is the same bright, neon color. Does anybody else notice this at other J's or is it an Oklahoma type of thing?

$1.64 to $1.69 around Finksburg & Eldersburg MD

Green at the Southern States in Frederick, MD


$1.69.9 of my green per gallon!

It's March, gotta have green diesel fuel to go along with the green beer on St. Patricks day!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/HiHi.gif

Here in Ft. Pierce FL. $1.64 - 1.77 Last time I looked Flying J was 1.71. It's always higher here than in North Fl. The cheap price 1.64 was in Stuart Fl. They generally are keeping the diesel price 4 -6 cents below regular now.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Dead.gif That's Good?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Angry.gif

$2.91 up here,Cdn dollar, Cdn gallon

$1.64 to $1.79 and rising along with the mercury. I think some of the service stations are sniffing to much fumes, but it could be worse, I could live in the state west of here.

Just payed 1.74 at fred meyers food outlet.This is in Salem Oregon


Tomslick24

Paid 1.91 taday. Best Ive seen. Others are at least 1.99.


Exxon, Arco with ULSD was same price...

$1.599 in west michigan

Love's in Okla City was 1.38-9 today, gas 1.49-9 most other stations in the 1.45-9 for diesel. Loves in okla draws you in for fuel and hopes you will buy while inside.


Geno

Dewitt Michigan 1.56.. Ya gotta shop around..


southside of town 1.67..

I got Diamond Shamrock for 1.499. Gasoline prices are about 1.679 south of Houston Texas.

Update: 17 March, Frederick MD Southern States $169.9http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif


One station down the street, called "Lowest Price" was $1.77, while the Shell Station just off the highway, was $1.97.http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gif http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Shocked.gifImagine travelling through the area, no knowing any better, paying that much for fuel, and since he is SO HIGH compared to his neighbors and he sells a real small volume, think about how much Water and other crap is in that fuel?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Throw Up.gif

That's why I'm glad to have my aux tank and 400 to 600 miles to "shop" for fuel when the low fuel light comes on!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif I was rolling through North Carolina a year or so ago and most of the big signs along the interstate were listing diesel at something like $1.30. I finally decided to pull off near Lake Norman and fuel up. I rolled into a BP station and actually had the nozzle in the tank (not turned on - thank goodness!) when I looked at the pump and realized they were charging $1.50 for diesel!!!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Angry.gif Needless to say - nozzle went back in the pump, cap back on the tank and I left black stripes nearly all the way to the on-ramp!http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

good for trip prep

We are paying 60 cents Canadian per litre here in Calgary, Alberta. If I have done my math right with 3.78 liters to the U.S. gallon and $1.34 Can. to $1 U.S. that works out to be $1.69 US/US gal.

Los Angeles, California,

<DIV>I just returned from Germany a fews weeks ago. Diesel over there is about $4.80 a gallon with the exchange rate being what it is. Thank god for military fuel coupons from the exchange system for the rental cars I had.</DIV>

$1.40 at Love's Truck Stop, I81 just east of I79 in VA. That was last Sunday. Prices are all over the place!

$1.76 where I fuel up in Sunny/Foggy Los Angeles California.


Near my house it was $1.99. Large variation in prices.

Went to Houston this week and cheapest wsa $1.449 in San Antonio and highest I saw was $1.759 around Houston. Mostly aound $1.59-$1.69 across the state.

Don't even know what it is here at home. Had our big 5000 gallon tank filled up at the first of the year when fuel was cheap vs now. Edited by: dutch

Update.....same Diamond Shamrock station, price now 1.57


An .08 cent increase in a week!

You mean an 8 cent increase?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clown.gif

Hi YAll. Dewitt Michigan again.. Friday went from 1.56 tp 1.69..





I am looking for a aux tank to add to the bed..

Fuel went from $1.69 to 1.72, and then back to $1.71 about mid week here in Frederick, MD at the Southern Stateshttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

SO FAR 1034 MILES.. HEADED NORTH SUNDAY..http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Smile.gif





http://www.smileycentral.com/sigpc=ZSzeb028 (http://www.smileycentral.com/?partner=ZSzeb028)

I drove to Knoxville, TN & back on friday. Flying J in Walton, KY had diesel for $1.499, Pilot in Heiskell, TN had it for $1.599, & Flying J in Beaverdam, OH was $1.669.

BTW, I used 18.106 gallons between Heiskell & Beaverdam which is 365.24 miles according to my GPS. 20.17 MPGhttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Thumbs Up.gif running 73 to 78 MPH (depending on the state I was in), which is my best MPG to date with just over 10,000 miles & 7 weeks old.

I just crossed the 10,000 miles mark on mine, too, and I noticed the best fuel mileage ever with this last trip, hitting 22.3 MPG for part and 20.1 over all (not towing.)


I had heard that these trucks keep improving diring the first 10-20K miles, and I guess that might be true. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Clap.gif

Local TV News station did an article on fuel prices. They noted that they are typically highest on Thursday, then trickle down the rest of the week. I have seen prices swing up to 10 cents a gallon thru the week at the same station, though I never tracked which day was the highest. Most tend to follow the same average which is around $1.65 a gallon west of Huntsville, Alabama. Like the rest of the world, some stations around here are posting $1.79 and you don't have to wait in line! I feel a little better when I check the price of regular gasoline and it's 5 cents more!


Cruised past a little place in lower Tennessee that had it for $1.59 on Sunday, too bad I was already full.


These high prices have 'almost' forced me to park the truck and ride the Harley everywhere. Have already leaned it out a lot to get it up to 45 mpg (gotta love that Powercommander!), but it's got no acceleration compared to when it's running right but getting 32mpg!


Where will it end?

From March 20 to March 28--fuel where I fill up went up 20 cents! (From 1.76 to 1.96).


Lucky for me--my fuel mileage seems to have improved also--around the 9000 mile mark (@10300 now). My best mileage--all highway @62mph/cruise control--was 23mpg. This is running at sea level relatively flat between Los Angeles and San Diego.


At 90 mph--the MPG's really drophttp://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Big Smile.gif!


Ron

Fuel around here is around 1.55 - 1.60 per gallon. Frankly, my truck is almost as economical as my wife's '04 VW Passat, which gets 24MPG but requires 93 octane, which is 1.89/gal. Even my wife would rather drive the truck.


Oh, drove the truck and 4 of my closest friends to the race @ Bristol yesterday. Running late, so hauled up there at 80-90MPH, then stop-go-stop-go at the track. Took backroads home to avoid traffic. Burned about a 1/2 tank of fuel altogether and got 18.9 MPG round-trip (per DIC which I've checked to be spot-on).


That's the hardest I've run the truck speed-wise (in her 6k mile life), so I was quite pleased that the mileage didn't go to crap. I'd reset the DIC pulling out of my driveway and when I got to track, it read 18.2 MPG.

One word: biodiesel. Sure it may cost a little more, but at least we don't have to worry about our "friends" setting our prices for us.

where i buy gas the price for regular went up 3 cents, 1.83, while the price of diesel dropped 6 cents to 1.73. Cant wait til i get my diesel...til then i press on in my 4Lranger...

2.19 here in Ventura County... The last day or so it superseeded regular gasoline. A 8-10 cent increase in a very short time is very common around here. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif I think the http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Evil Smile.gif has something to do with it! haha

$169.9 gal. & it's been the same for last 5 weeks @ my station here in S.E. Mass.

Here in Griffin, GA it's $1.599 &amp; up over at mp 201 on I-75 Love Travel Plaza gets $1.409. My Good Sam card gets a penny off that. Any time I'm East of town I try to stop and get what she'll hold.


Got to get an auxiliary tank! Last time I was there I talked to a guy from Indiana who had a 95 gal "L" shaped in bed tank that went in front of and underneath tool box. He used a pump in this tank to pump into stock filler. Nice setup, he got it at Tractor Supply.

Auxillary tanks are the way to go... especially if you travel alot.

They make nice tanks and have a warranty on them.

ooops!


Now $1.67 a Gal, Southern States. Frederick, MD

it's 1.53 here about 10min's east of Nashville, TN regular is 1.76 premium is 1.91

Last time I filled up (three weeks ago), diesel was about $1.90.


Filled-up yesterday and was surprised to see Diesel priced at $2.25. It actually is now more expensive than regular 87 octane unleaded.


Not sure what the excuse is from the gas companies this time (not that it makes any difference).

15 days ago--diesel #2 was 1.76 where I fill up--now it is 2.16. I think it was 1.96 last Sunday!


This reminds me of the Power crisis in California--hold back power--prices go up.


The refiners --refine more Gasoline--because it is expensive and in demand--but that causes diesel to go up.....


Station by my house: 2.29 for diesel and 2.19 for regular gas!


I wonder how hard it is to make my own biodiesel.


Ron

RonJT,


The situation that always bothers me is the Chevron Stations at Sepulveda / El Segundo Blvd or Sepulveda/Rosecrans in El Segundo, CA. These stations always have high prices. For those not familar with the area, the Chevron refinery is essentially right behind these two stations. Usually 5-8 cents more expensive than in Yorba Linda (40 miles away). Figure that one out!


AlanEdited by: OC_DMAX

Alan,


I heard from a former coworker who lives in El Segundo that the high prices are due to inflated city taxes--similar to the outrages head count taxes the city levies on buisnesses.


It seems that the whole refining side of fuel is out of balance in California--for whatever reason(s)--not enough refining capacity--no new ones planned(environmental issues)--plant shutdown/maintenance--summer blends--too many SUV(s) outstripping supply blah blah blah--we are being screwed--plain and simple!


Ron

I just might have the high record. I called the local cardlock today. Diesel: 2.31, gas 2.28, and red: 1.95...


Needleess to say, I dont buy there now...The local chevron is 2.19...http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif

$1.819/gal #2 @ the 76 I205 exit 10 in Oregon City, OR and you can't pump your own by law.

Did anyone post this link yet?

Department of Energy Fuel Survey (http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/gdu/gasdiesel.asp)

I remember seeing an article a few weeks back where one of the refineries was shutting down for an upgrade and shortfall can't be met by refineries from outside CA because refineries outside Cali can't meeting CARB requirements (lower sulfur diesel, etc.)

- jeff



Edited by: dmax lover

Jeff,


That kind of makes sense--I heard there was a Shell refinery in Bakersfield (outside LA) that was been shut down--permanently--not sure if there are other refineries down for work/upgrades.


AAA is saying california is not meeting its own needs--need to import from..?


The cali fuel has only 300ppm vs 500ppm sulfur (which further reduces lubricity) which could mean that in order to entice an out of state refiner to sell here--the price has to go up.


Ron

Good ol CA, nice place to visit...

I just checked the Love Travel Stop web site for price. Mile post 201 on I75 here in GA now down to $1.389, another penny off with good Sam card.


I know fuel tax in GA is the 2nd lowest in //usa, but you guys on left coast are getting ripped off big time!
