Gas and diesel prices

[duramax]

Gas is down a couple pennies, but don't expect it to reflect that at the pumps. Of course diesel went up about 5 cents. Don't be suprised to see diesel up another 5-10 cents by the weekend, so fill up now if you can.

saw a thing on the news where in california regular gas is up to $5 or so a gallon....

This issue with Chavez in SA is going to drive the prices up you watch.. Oh yeah and don't forget about the switch to the summer blends.. That's always good for 25 to 35 cents..

when is too much money enough, with them making that much for oil its just a matter of time before they start buying up everything so they can control it, need to start bringing the oil out of Iraq to dump on the market and bottom it out,

It's so bad right now that I am SERIOUSLY considering a diesel for my next vehicle and make my own biodiesel.

If you don't drive a lot, making bio is a good idea. If you do drive a lot, buying an older diesel (prior to 2000) and having it run on 100% veg oil is the way to go. You have an extra tank that is just veg oil and a control system that makes it so your vehicle starts on diesel, runs on veg oil, and shuts off with diesel. The kit costs about 3 grand depending on your vehicle. I know a guy that has the kit on 2 of his trucks. He drive a LOT and it saves him about $500 a week on fuel.

I would run bio on my truck, but the 2001-2004.5 duramax's have injector issues and I don't want to risk messing mine up. Since they are about $5,000 for 8 injectors. So I drive my motorcycle and freeze my butt off instead (not anymore since the weather is nicer).

Whatever happened to the novel idea of just staying at home and only driving when it's necessary (work and grocery/beer run)??? Cruising around on the weekends will cost you. If you can't afford the extra gas stay home. Sometimes you just have to adjust your lifestyle a little if the money isn't there at the time. Gas isn't going down....ever. So either drive less, make more money, or cruise around in the most fuel efficient ride you have.

You will now be shunned in today's society for stating something of common sense.

We used to go out and ride around on the weekends. Burn about a tank in the wife's 32mpg car every weekend. We cut that out and it knocked the fuel bill back about $100/month. Also quit driving my truck anywhere but work unless I just had to. That helped also. It wasn't that we couldn't afford it we just didn't want to afford any more. Put that extra cash for extra payments on principle. Yes common sense flies out the window most of the time.

Don't be surprised to see diesel up $2 dollars over the next two years. The new environmental regulations that the EPA set on ULSD has left major oil companies exporting barrels because we can't sell them in the US. US refiners export tons of barrels to latin america that don't meet sulfur regs.

And....the us automakers will be shifting to diesel fleets to meet the new fuel economy mandates. It's cheaper to build diesel engines than it is to build a more efficient gasoline engine. Demand will rise.

FYI. I drove to Houston yesterday and the diesel prices out here are higher than in MS/TN. The highest I saw it was 4.09 I did pass a small station outside Nacadouches that had it for 3.50. Eitherway, it's high.
