Ya know watching these prices, I am kind of glad I didnt buy the new Chevy truck with the 3.0 diesel. Besides I dont drive that far any more, so it think that would have been hard on it anyways

We call that free market capitalism.

Partially precipitated by lack of refinerys.

How is that even legal?

No one is forced to buy it at that price

Very true, that's why I filled up before going there, used just over 3/4 tank up and back.

Problem is the people that live up there (middle of the Adirondacks) have no other option. All the other stations in the immediate area have similar prices and alternatives are miles away. Captive customers so-to-speak. Kind of like selling water in the desert, the price is what they say it is, pay it or go without.

Saw $5.95 in Northern AZ yesterday.

Happy to swap diesel prices. We're at $2.60 per litre....$9.85 per gallon. Not a great time to be driving an ex army Unimog that gets about 9 mpg. Lucky I don't drive much.

I have a friend with a 3.0 liter diesel Chevy truck.

Other day he decided he’s going to park it unless needed. He has a couple other options until snow flies.

Gas buddy app is helpful to find lower cost alternatives, although most stations around me are within $0.40 of each other. I won’t go out of my way to get cheaper fuel but if I can plan my chore route around it I will go to the cheaper station.

just checked...
'cheap' gas is $1.84 per litre, diesel is $2.50 a litre !!!!
so diesel is 66 cents more...or 150% the cost of gas...

WHY ? Aside from robbing us, it also costs farmers more to make food, shipper to drive their trucks, etc.

Gas prices jumped 10 cents Friday morning to $4.39 and on road diesel to $6.19 here.
