Here in Kelowna diesel dropped at some stations to 1.02/Liter. It would be nice to see it back at 55-60/Liter. Wouldn't ya know it, I bought my truck and diesel shot up

My brother in law owns a small grocery store in a small town in central Alabama and he received a shipment of offroad diesel yesterday and the price has dropped from $2.099 to $1.899/gallon. I don't know what the taxes are in Georgia for onroad diesel but the trend is at least in the right direction. Ed

Because they can. No other reason. Convince me otherwise.
Hello All,
I'll tell you why diesel is way more expensive now than about 5 years ago when I think it was close to $ 1.10 in most places. Its going to the war effort, I can personally tell you from 6 years in the army as a Cavalry Scout, the military consumes a helluva lot of diesel. Everything runs off of diesel or some blend of it, i.e. JP-8. From small 1k generators, and even power washers, yeah you read that right, a 5 horsepower diesel, power/ pressure washer the size of a honda civic engine. All the way up to our tanks and helicopters. And I can will tell you that it takes about 5-7 gallons of diesel just to turn on the PowerPack (diesel engine turbine w/ allison transmission) in the Abrams tank, and about another 3-5 just to turn it off. Plus the 1/2 mile per gallon you burn while doing close to 57 mph, in a 70 ton beast that can hit a watermelon two miles away on the move. Man forget my LMM duramax, I want my 1800 horsepower, diesel turbine w/ allison tranny back.

The military does use a tremendous amount of fuel. However, it is a very small percentage when compared fuel used by the homefront for commercial and consumer purposes. Also, it impacts local fuel pricing very little, if at all. Fuel for military use is procured locally, in this case, Kuwait and SA, among others. We don't currently ship or divert US oil/fuel allotments into the current theater. Tax money pays for it, and we pay the tax, but the reality is, the military is paying pennies on the dollar for fuel compared to what we pay at home. Actually, it is cheaper on fuel when the military is operating in the oil rich countries. They are currently paying less than $.50 a gallon.Originally Posted by 305Monster
There's only one reason fuel prices are what they are now. Because they can.
here in new zealand diesel $5.80 gal and still to go up we are told makes your fuel seem cheap
Diesel prices have been holding steady at $2.74 at the local Flying J here in SE Idaho for the last three weeks. I just put 25 gallons in my OEM and my biggest beef is that the new ULSD pumps cut off my Visa checkcard at $50 and I have to run a "double transaction" to fill my 40 gallon aux AND my 26 gallon OEM!
