Diesel Prices Are Going Up Really Fast

[redbaron]

Unfortunately oil stocks plummeted. Some days, it is difficult to win.

Hit rock bottom huh?

I guess I would have to give up rving if I had to transition to an EV and a trailer that's the size of my rear bath in my DP. I'm 6'3" it physically wouldn't work for me.

Some of those trailers are so small you have to go outside to turn around.

yep. We have experienced all that. The bathroom is okay but passing each other in the kitchen is…cosy. . Here’s our bathroom. Takes a little getting used to.

We like the old railroad car design. Cosy but functional. This road trip will end up being about 9 weeks and 11500 kilometres. We’ll be happy to get back in the house for awhile. And then September we start all over again.

I don't think anyone is fooled......

Some better news as diesel prices move downward. Let’s hope it keeps going.

Diesel has dropped .40 in the last 5 days at a local mobil station here in NH. $6.19 last week; $5.79 now. Not great but headed back in the right direction. I‘m going to fill this thing and hit the road tomorrow.

I have seen diesel at 4.87 today, gas at 3.87 In Tennessee. Going down.

Diesel $4.79 at Walmart at Pontotoc, Miss.

Diesel Price is an interesting topic, Flying J, Pilot on I-95 in Florida is ~$$4.59 while local Walmart, BP, Shell and others are ~$3.59-$3.39.

Granted a 43' with a tow might be a tight fit at a local station

TA south of Portland Or on I-5 is $3.53 this morning. Love's is $3.55.
The PFJ across the street at $4.23, is usually the benchmark for highest price.
Santa Nella Ca yesterday, $4.08 and $4.11 at Love's & TA

[mod edit: politics/hate], I rarely see anything below 4.90 per. Getting close to finally being on my way out of here.

And it will probably get worse. I have two major concerns this year. One is the price of fuel and the other is the possibility we won't be able to find fuel to return home. If you lived through the 70's you will remember the price of gas spiking and mass shortages nationwide. I don't know who was running the country then but this seems like the direction we are headed.

Did you say running or ruining???

This came across my FB feed today. All I've got to say is if you smell smoke in your car, get out quick! This battery technology might need a bit of refining. . .

Yup! Roman candle!!! Hope your EV has mmanual door locks!

They promised we are for historic times ahead. The diesel prices are at historic high

Not yet!!!

We're in Canada this morning, about 30 miles south of Vancouver BC. Gasoline here, in Canadian $$ is $7.57 a gallon!!! Diesel is not far behind at $7.19. Yesterday, I filled at Costco (some now sell diesel) in Bellingham Wa at $3.89. Not so bad back in the states when Canadians are getting bent over......

I didn’t check diesel, but gas is currently cheaper than it was in 2008.

We finally rough sketched our 2022 travel plans. We will be heading out of Florida in a couple of weeks.

Yesterday we had to drive the F350 down to Ft. Myers (170 miles round trip). I noticed that diesel prices were about .15 higher down there so as we drove back I kept watching stations along the way to see where I could get it a little cheaper. Corner station by a friends house was cheaper than anyplace else so we decided on the way back out of her subdivision we would fill there. Thirty minutes later we returned to the station and they had raised it .27 per gallon! We drove on without filling.

The next town closer to our resort had a Shell that was the cheapest at $5.15 per gallon. I filled up ($150 plus). When I went inside for a receipt the clerk said my timing was good because he just got a paper telling him to jack the diesel price .27 per gallon. As I walked out the door he was using a remote and sure enough before I drove off the station's fuel price sign was changed to $5.42 per gallon!

Silly me......when I planned our beginning travels I figured diesel at between $5.50 and $6.00 per gallon. Now I suspect by June we will see diesel at $6.00 to $7.00 per gallon. Plus currently my OpenRoads (TSD) app isn't showing hardly any good discounts anywhere in the country.

One way to buy diesel fuel cheaper is to download the Mudflap APP. Link a credit card or a bank account to it and you will get a discount. The Mudflap app shows which stations accept it and the discounted price. When you start, there will be a charge of $50.00 initially, but it will be refunded when the transaction goes through. It is just to make sure the payment method is good.

Weird. We are in BC also. Diesel is 1.62 which is 4.58 USD per US gallon. Are you sure you did that conversion right?
