Perhaps, but ships, trains, and the commercial trucking industry all put high demands on diesel. Those are partially driven by the needs of the military here and abroad.

What I don't get it the HUGE variance in price from place to place. Diesel is 3.68 here, gas is 3.27. In AZ diesel is 3.99 gas is 3.65. In CA diesel is 4.35, gas is 4.05. Besides CA being full of communist bastards, why the huge bump in price?

Could well be taxes. That's the majority of the difference between our price and yours, for example.

with the market tanking today, oil went down 3 dollars a barrel, wonder if I will see the price go down as fast as these fuckers raise them.

Ok I feel better now.

Unlikely.

And with our dollar at US1.03 I'm wishing that I had some camera equipment that I wanted to buy from B&H

Nope. I got an email today saying the prices in this area are expected to rise and by lunch one station was up from $3.43 to $3.58.

Oil was down earlier but ended the day up a little bit higher.

I wish when I did my engine swap I would have had the money to put in a turbo desiel. Would be cool to use cooking oil.
