Fuel prices

At least the Oil Co's are doing ok. . .


LONDON (AP) — Energy giant Shell reported record first-quarter earnings after a surge in oil prices, fueling calls for the British government to impose a tax on energy companies’ windfall earnings to help consumers struggling with the soaring cost of living.

London-based Shell said adjusted earnings — which exclude one-time items and fluctuations in the value of inventories — rose to $9.1 billion from $3.2 billion in the same period last year. That beat analyst expectations of $8.2 billion.

As if taxing energy companies more will somehow not add to increases in prices.

Well, that settles it then. The Oilco's aren't taking advantage of the situation.
All those Oilco CEO's that stated they aren't going to do new drilling / open old wells because there was no reason to expend any $$$ on that when they could just let there be a shortage and get the higher prices, well they must have been kidding then.

well good news is it's ONLY going up another 10 c tonight, so $1.99 per litre will be the 'deal' from now on ,until mid November... diesel probably $2.37 /l

We’re $4.39 for 87 octane, and $6.19 for diesel…..OUCH.

$6.19 in Lowville ,NY . Wait to you see Cream cheese prices..... Not Good.

4.20 for 87 and 5.30 for diesel here. Up from 3.60 8 days ago. We know the current administration has nothing but excuses for the escalation in prices and no interest in increasing domestic production to help out. Glad I filled up the diesel storage back at 3.25 a gal in December

It's around €1.90/litre here. Luckily, I drive a fairly economical van. I've had it for a few years now, maybe 12. I was passing the time in traffic last week when I noticed the mileage. Even I was surprised!

Not bad for a 15 year old van with over 300k km

$5.39 for diesel yesterday ... B2601 took $25.00 to fill up.

I wasted a bunch and made a mess on the hood

It is time for a Tera Pump.

I bought one of the filter funnels because the dealer said the local fuel was not great and recommended I have a fuel filter on the shelf . It leaves a couple of ounces of fuel in the bottom of the funnel so I think now the fuel filter will be cheaper to replace than the wasted fuel in the funnel.

I find it a LOT easier to buy diesel using 2, 10L2.5g) jugs instead of 1, 20l jug(5g). Easier to carry and a LOT easier to fuel up the BX23S. Ain't as 'agile' as I once was,so trying to work smarter, not harder now.

 

[michigander]

I made my mess using a 5 gallon sure can. I use the steering wheel to hold it. What happened was I though can was empty and pre-maturely pulled hose out fuel was still flowing.

today's post:

my local station was 4.63/gal gas. they don't sell diesel, but earlier this week I paid $6.60/gal for diesel.

my estimates/labor rates will reflect the current inflated rates as well. Need to pass that cost along as well.

I too find it impossible to lift 5 gallon jugs and fill the tractor without spilling some (and straining my old bones).

This was a simple small project that cost me < $200 all in including a new 55 gal drum. Runs on 12v - I installed a 12 volt connector on fel cross arm (also serves as charging port).
