Gas prices dropping.

Don't worry, the prices will go back up when there is a premium charge for processing smaller batches at the refineries.

Right after they add a carbon tax

I have a diesel boiler for heat near Seattle, WA.  I know when the prices are going to drop or aren't going to go back up for a while.  The auto-fill fuel truck shows up.  You think you got a bunch of oil that is worth about 70 cents on the dollar of what you paid for it.  It's not easy being a small player in a large pond.

Here in Kona Hawaii diesel is still above $4 a gallon.  When it get down to $3 I'll go back to petro diesel to save my cubies of WVO.  May I add that the Isuzu NPR diesel is one of the greatest machines ever.

Cheers,

Casey

The Cap and Trade fuel tax is supposed to kick in tomorrow.  They say 12 cents/gallon at first (Kalifornia), but it is expected to increase thereafter.  Up to 76 cents/gallon by the California Air Resources Board's own analysis.  So enjoy your cheap gas while it lasts.

Costco here on the Big Island of Hawaii is about 75 cents a gallon cheaper than the folk just three blocks away.  From the lines you'd think we were facing a shortage.

How about our buddies on Wall Street.  The people in the street get a break and they fun into the chicken coupe screaming the sky is falling.

Ever wonder why a capitalistic nation taxes on income rather than capital?

well , we hit bottom and prices started going up the last couple days.

I finally filled up my IDI F350 this morning with diesel, pd $2.14/gal.  As I pulled out the price for diesel changed to $2.17 on the signage.

87 octane unleaded 1.66 in Southern New Jersey.  And by law you are not permitted to pump your own gas so you don't even have to get out of the car.

Wow!

Why aren't you guys filling 55 gallon drums with diesel? 

OK, here's my prophecy.  In one year, even better - Christmas this year, Diesel will be back up to $4 a gallon and cheap gas will be $3 a gallon.

I burn very little diesel in my backup setup since it runs mostly on Natural Gas.
