In the last two day diesel prices have gone down 18 cents a gallon. Price is now $3.83.... what a bargain
Here its was 4.01 now its 3.93
I would hope so, after the drop in oil prices yesterday
Down Under is equivalent to $5.30 a US Gallon at todays rates I don't know what you guys are complaining about:beatsme
What % of that is taxes though?
Still 4.14 on the north end of Richland, WA. Last stop on the wat out to the Lazy H Ranch! (the hanford nuculear site)
Squizzy - what we are dealing with is diesel prices increasing over $1 a gallon in less than a year. That is alot of inflation (33% on fuel) to pass on to projects. We as contractors have to absorb the increase in fuel prices and pass them on to customers. Our customers are not in tune with the price desparigy between gas and diesel prices and think you are just "too high". Another problem is the jack-leg contractors that do not bid jobs correctly and in turn win the job only to loose money. Sure these guys won't stay in business but that does not happen over night. In the mean time the contractors that have a realistic bid are sitting at home, losing money. As contractors we are the first ones to feel inflation and in turn pass it on to customers. You can get caught in the "inflationary change" (like a $.25-30 per gallon increase in 2 months) and lose a lot of money. Of course the prices will stabilize at the higher rate eventually but you have to survive in the mean time. If fuel prices stay at $4 per gallon - then in a year or so, that is the price of doing business and the cost basis resets itself.
$4.29 here, just crazy
still the same here
$1.19 a litre for on road here and 1.03 for off road. So some where above $5 a gallon i believe
Dropped from 4.23 to 4.19. Whoopee!!! Absolutely no reason for diesel to be this high.
It's 1.22 per L here, which works out to 4.61 per gallon. Still better than what Squizzy's paying. The part that bugs me is that regular unleaded is only 1.14 per L, and you get more diesel out of a barrel of oil for less money than you do gas. Brian
$4.14 a gallon here, lowest i saw today was $3.75
$1.25 per L here on Vancouver Island when i filled up yesterday.
Still $4.14 in town here, but when you are your own supplier, its really easy to jack the prices around, then the two other stations in town go to your price just because. Really sucks is what it does. But like some have said, paying that kinda of money is bad enough but when you see it change as fast as it does its next to impossible to bid a project in the winter and do it for the same price come spring, unless you have a fuel clause in there.

Off-road was $3.82 here on Friday when I filled the transfer tank!:Banghead
On-road $3.85 - it came down $.05 since last Wed.
Its $ 4.44 here in Newark NY. and just a few miles and a couple towns away it's $3.99 but it's still not worth the trip just for a tank full. How can the price differ so much ????
We just paid $4.46.
You have a valid point there. This topic was brought up at work for some time today, and for the life of everyone of us it was unsolved.:Banghead Information anyone?
Because production and refining costs are just one aspect of pricing. Demand and usage is another. Just like used oil from restaurants used to be free, now many are selling it due to higher demand in some areas. Sure they could still give it away and make some people happy, but this is business, not charity. Demand (or desire) for really cheap stuff almost always exceeds supply. Higher prices and no shortages(unless you count the poorer countries being priced out of the market), or lower prices and first come first served. Take your pick.
I was cleaning up behind my buildings and noticed a bright new sign on the grease tank that the restaurant uses. I walk over and to the effect it said in bold lettering keep out, its ours, will call the law if you touch it! Heck there even stealing steel scrap now, thats never been a problem before.
With sheet iron prices of $210 a ton, short structual iron, under 5 feet, at $250 a ton, cast iron at $220, and long iron, over 5 feet, at $210 a ton steel is getting popular around here as well. Im waiting to see jobsites have small equipment buckets, rebar, and other easy to move pieces of iron to come up missing. I dont think this is going to last much longer. A lot of the metal prices going up has to do with China preparing for next years olympics. A lot of the talk is that once the olympics happen, China is going to back its economic growth. It would only make sense that a country that seeks to control their population would want to limit prosperity. They are already seeing uprising in areas that the government is not liked, such as Tibet. Another thing that seems to be driving the comodity market is itself. You see oil go up, then the others start following. Coupled with a weak dollar, the markets drive higher. Top that off, with a public and government backed grain ethanol program, you see the price of farm comodites shoot thru the roof. So much for the cheap source of fuel from the amber waves of fuel, or is it grain? At last report, consumer prices were only expected to raise 2.5%. Id like to see where that is going on because around here inflation of 2.5% would be welcomed. Eggs up 40% in the last year tells the story of food items. Tack fuel on top of that, it cant lead to sustained growth for anything
It's almost enough to make you cry when you figure out what diesel costs us at work. We make our own, and use every drop we can make and then some. We desparately need to increase the diesel plant's capacity, but I'm not sure if they are working on that or not. I'm not sure what they are buying diesel for pricewise, but the last figure I heard was less than 20 cents per L for us to make our own. Brian
Has it gone down anywhere else??? ON road here was $3.69 this morning
Roadside prices vary each week in Australia. Cheapest day to fill-up is Tuesday. Overall, the prices will continue to increase due to supply and demand. The demand increases each year due to population increase and supply is a finite resource number. Too many people on this fragile planet?? Some now pray for divine assistance but I'm not sure where these gods live......C ya ........Ray
at Today's exchange rate it is US$5.77/US Gallon here
$4.15 for on-road in PA
most i saw it for was $4.39 least $4.25
On road $3.78 in Birmingham.
price of fuel Fuel went up to $4.19 Gas went up to $3.45 Trucking rates still the same, no one goes up, guess we will work for nothing, here in eastern NC:Banghead
Diesel was 4.39 monday, now 4.55 today, how nice
$4.50 and going up.
every one pick a day or three park everything gas diesel construction equipment and see what happens may be good may be bad who knows but oil companys would lose their asses for even 1 day of shut down
I tell you what...I just dont get it. Diesel is outragous. Im going to start processing some biodiesel and at least mix in 20% to save me some dough. I dont want to run 100%,but Ill definatly mix er in......
I wish we could get everyone to do this.
If this was the 1800's we could prolly get our equipment to run on beer and rum! Personally I love 'em both but for work diesel is much sweeter. and expensive.
Diesel Alaska Diesel where I live its $4.19 and rising every week. No relief in sight. Got so they put electric signs up, so they can change the price faster.
Damn, you have it cheap over there.. About 2.5$ for 1 litre over here.. Thats around 9.45$ for 1 gallon..
:Banghead :spaz :throwup
$4.35 at the station. I usually buy red fuel by the half load approx. 4500 gal. I'm on a little job and out of fuel so I just bought enough to finish up 300 gals of red @ $3.94 = $1182 D8K runs about 17 GPH = $66.98 per hour for fuel
$4.55 here as of yesterday, will probably hit $5 per gallon by Memorial day is what i am thinking. Government bodies claim prices will drop soon but the prices always spike at the holiday weekends.
price's Diesel price here in mo. $3.99
Well, as like most other countries, im sure your taxes are through the roof. I think our tax rates on fuel are outrageous. You guys get ready to grab your toes, things shot up .25 cents today. Regular gas is sitting at 3.65 a gallon. That price is based roughly off $108 barrel of oil. Sitting around $117 a barrel today. This cant keep going this way. If it does, we are in some serious economic troubles.
more reason to look at McCains plan...no federal tax on fuel (gas or diesel) between memorial day and labor day how this would work i don't know...then again i am all for drilling in Alaska
May 12th fuel Put fuel in the machines today, at off road price of $4.0111. Gas I have seen from 3.73 to 3.75 and even one station at 3.89 already. And just last week I filled the S-10 up at the cheap price of $3.55. As we say around here, someones going to get shot for this $^&* UP. That and we are being run by China, as EVERYTHING we get anymore comes from China. I really wish we could be more self suffcient and get rid of the illegals, and make the welfare bums who don't really need it get a job. I won't go on anymore, but I sure can. Trbo:usa
Diesel just went up another 5c a litre over here in New Zealand. Criminal.
Today it was up .20 to 4.79
This is not a supply and demand market, just a bunch of idiot investors who keep running and dumping there money in the oil market. I am willing to bet that oil would only be $80.00 per barrel if you removed all the outside investors in this. They are killinmg the US only to make a quick buck. What a bunch of low life sellouts!
No comment
Yep the green stuff is going for $4.89 a gallon this is stupid
I hope this shows everybody how to vote this september:usa
Wasn't GW Bush going to fix your fuel supplies when he went to Iraq?? They had plenty one time but maybe the armed forces there are using too much??
Lot of UFO traffic in your area?
You got your months wrong, Republicans vote in November and Dems in December.
Its so stupid, espically because its made from a bi-product. The stuff is cheap as dirt to produce and there just raping us! My theory is that they want to keep the U.S from ending up doing what the european countries did and switch all there cars over to it, because it burns slower, and will reduce our dependency on gasoline! Just my 2c
The one thing I have heard, and I really have no clue about this refining stuff, is that this new ultra low sulfer fuel takes another process to get it to the sulfer levels that are set for it, thus making it higher than gasoline. Thats just what I have heard. Someone who knows bout the processes could give us a better reasoning. Trbo
On road diesel is still 4.79 here,heating oil is around 4.00 a gallon and gasoline is right at 3.96-4.05
That's what I have read about it also, although I am no expert either. That still does not explain a 35% increase in less than 5 months. On road here $4.35 and off-road, just got 500Gal yesterday, $4.01. All I can say is OUCH! If the credit crunch does not tank the economy, the fuel prices surely will.
My understanding is it is not just the extra refining it is the new equipment needed to refine it to the ultra low sulfer that has driving prices up. Either way it is still outrageous.
same thing up here today...
Keeps going
Not so sure that any politician can effect these prices. There are a lot of speculators (including pension funds) that are making a killing. For those with money in a 401k there might be some good news in with the bad. $5.00 diesel is no good for anyone though. Hal
I don't think there is a candidate that is worth voting for. None of them are talking about real solutions to the problem (not that I know the answer).
We are going to have the choice of the best of the worst. Hal
4.85/GAL HERE IN MASS.:beatsme
Hey guys you think you are having a rough time with prices, try ours at $10.25 a gallon and thats just petrol. diesel is nearly $11.00 a gallon.:Banghead
Who would have thought that diesel would have increased over $1.00 a gallon in just over 2 months. I started this topic on 3/21 and the price was $3.83 a gallon.... now it almost 5 bucks What the hell will it be in another 2 months?
they are saying $200 a barrel soon, maybe the end of the year...which would put gas at $6 a gallon and who knows for diesel...probably $7.50
I think our Norwegian friends pay the most . What are your prices in ole norgeway? It has always been almost double what we pay in the states.
UK most expensive in europe $11.00 a gallon 67% of price is tax
The AP story below from last Thursday talks about why oil prices are heading toward $200 per barrel. To watch the US Dept of Energy's weekly reports of diesel prices, check out this site: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp Oil surpasses $135 a barrel on new supply concerns By PABLO GORONDI – May 22, 2008 Oil prices rose above $135 a barrel for the first time Thursday, with supply worries, global demand and an ever weakening U.S dollar driving crude futures up. Also on Thursday, The Wall Street Journal reported that the world's top energy watchdog is preparing a sharp downward revision of its oil-supply forecast. Light, sweet crude for July delivery rose as high as $135.09 before falling back. By the afternoon in Europe, the contract stood at $133.35 a barrel in electronic trade on the New York Mercantile Exchange, up 18 cents on Wednesday's close of $133.17. That settlement price, up $4.19 on Tuesday's close, marked NYMEX crude's largest one-day price advance since March 26. Meanwhile, July Brent crude on the ICE Futures exchange in London also reached a new record of $135.14 a barrel Thursday. It retreated to $132.68 by the afternoon in Europe, a loss of 2 cents on its Wednesday close. "Simply put, this is a market you cannot afford to be short in," said U.S. analyst and trader Stephen Schork about Brent futures in his Schork Report. With gas and oil prices setting new records nearly every day, analysts have begun to wonder what might stop prices from rising. There are technical signals in the futures market, including price differences between near-term and longer-term contracts, that crude may soon fall. But with demand for oil growing in the developing world, and little end in sight to supply problems in producing countries such as Nigeria, few analysts are willing to call an end to crude's rally. "The sentiment in the market is very bullish at the moment," said David Moore, commodity strategist with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney. "The U.S. dollar was weaker last night, and also the U.S. EIA report showed an unexpected decline in U.S. commercial crude oil inventories, so there's a combination of factors pushing the oil prices higher." Crude prices breezed past $130 early Wednesday, then accelerated when the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration said U.S. crude inventories fell by more than 5 million barrels last week. Analysts had expected a modest increase. Investment bank Goldman Sachs last week revised its oil price forecast for the second half of 2008 from $107 to $141 a barrel. But some analysts saw the new target becoming a reality much sooner. "Futures are moving so fast that under the current volatility that goal could already be reached within the end of the week," said a report by Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland. Some analysts say crude has been boosted in recent days by especially strong demand for diesel in China, where power plants in some areas are running desperately short of coal. The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Paris-based International Energy Agency is in the middle of its first attempt to comprehensively assess the condition of the world's top 400 oil fields. For years the IEA has predicted that supplies of crude and other liquid fuels will arc gently upward to keep pace with rising demand, topping 116 million barrels a day by 2030, up from around 87 million barrels a day currently. The agency is now concerned that aging oil fields and diminished investment mean that companies could struggle to surpass 100 million barrels a day in production over the next two decades, the paper reported. That view has been echoed by many analysts. "The market is really structurally tight ... oil demand is not growing that fast but supply is constrained," said Victor Shum, an energy analyst with Purvin & Gertz in Singapore. In the U.S. Energy Information Administration report, gasoline inventories also fell, which took the market by surprise. Inventories of distillates, which include heating oil and diesel fuel, rose less than analysts surveyed by Platts had expected. While the dollar gained slightly against the euro and the Japanese yen from overnight levels, it fell against the British pound and showed a new downward momentum. The 15-nation euro bought $1.5765 in morning European trading, down from $1.5780 in late New York trading Wednesday. The British pound bought $1.9786, up from $1.9689 late Wednesday. The dollar declined to 103.25 Japanese yen from 104.17 yen. Investors see hard commodities such as oil as a hedge against inflation and a weak dollar and pour into the crude futures market when the greenback falls. A weak dollar also makes oil less expensive to buyers dealing in other currencies. Many investors believe the dollar's protracted decline over the past year has been the most significant factor behind oil's rise from about $66 a barrel a year ago. In other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose 9.80 cents to $4.0064 a gallon while gasoline prices added 2.85 cents to $3.4250 a gallon. Natural gas futures rose 7 cents to $11.710 per 1,000 cubic feet. AP Business Writer Thomas Hogue in Bangkok, Thailand, contributed to this report.
Talk about squising us.. You are right about the most horrible diesel price in the world. Now it is around 13-14 kr pr litre for road fuel. With todays $ thats around 2,80-2,90$ pr litre. Off road is around 10-11 kr/litre. 2-2,1$ litre. Thats 3,78*2,8= 10,5$/gallon . 3,78*2= 7,56$/gallon. 95 unlead Gas is apr 1kr/20% cheaper. And we are one of the real big fuel/oil/gas producers in the world.... States income from oil/gas goes into the pension fond.... Yesterday our state pension fond owned more than 1% of Europes shares. We are owning about 1% of the worlds business shares in a month or two. A rather big pile of money... Fuel prices rise and the government get extra uncalculated income... That extra income is now so much that we could have had a taxfree year this year.(departement doesnt calculate high enough) Everybody who pays tax to Norway...... I think we should have had it like in Canada, pay check once a year!:drinkup
Eh, not much to say
That rediculous Diesel is $4.69-$4.79 around here 2 weeks about it dropped down to $4.32 for about 3 days a US fleet Fuels.
And that is the main reason why we are paying so much at the pump. There is so much money being put into the oil futures around the world that it is driving the price sky high. On-road Birmingham, AL $4.69
i currently work in the second most largest oil producing country in the world and fuel is dirt cheap here!! there are many things that are causing the outrageous fuel price. i attribute most of it to two things 1.) lack of refineries in the states, we sale our crude to these people and then they sale it back to us in the refined stae for the outrageous prices. 2.) oil futures all these paper pshing D BAGS on wall street see that the country needs oil to run and they estimate that demand will rise therefore the price raises. there is a light at the end of the tunnel though. since the prices have become so high the demand is decreasing which means the price is going to decreas and another positive is that opec is geting super bent out of shape at the speculators on wall street because the the estimations that they made are not meeting the urrent demand. so hopefully for us this will be the strw that breaks the camels back. sccording to some speculators fuel is supposed to drop 50. cents by the end of the summer and then a little more through the winter, and this downward trend is not going to last much longer the dollor is getting stronger by the day. keep your heads up and some iron in the dirt. good luck to you all
Alright lets get some fuel price updates. Today on road diesel was $3.98 Off road was $3.69 Regular gas was $3.65 All prices from the US Fleet fuels Stations. (the ones where there's just the pumps) Diesel prices at all the regular stations are still around $4.49- 4.59. Somebodys getting rich from making $0.60 a gallon for diesel.
GREEN DIESEL (plant rebated) $4/us gal derv (road unrebated)$ 5.5/us gal
Here's a good place to review the Dept. of Energy's current data on petroleum pricing: http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp This page shows the weekly retail price for on-highway diesel, but if you click "Petroleum" in the breadcrumbs at the top of the page you get an index of reports that will take you to an awful lot of options: weekly retail gasoline, spot prices, crude-oil pricing, lots of good stuff. Best, Larry
I'm paying $4.57 here for diesel. Supposed to drop $0.30 through the following weeks.
You can thank the They're the ones bringing the prices down if you know anything about the free market.
So we're all excited about seeing the prices we are today because they are less than last week?? I saw diesel today under $5 for the first time all summer. Less is always better, but fuel is no where near the price it was a year ago. That's the game, it's happened every time. Jack the prices up to exorbitant levels, then drop them a little to make us think we're getting a bargain. When I see gas at $2.35 I'll start celebrating.
No argument at all that this is the way the petroleum business ratchets up our fuel prices. It would be a major mistake to miss the hard fact that fuel is still 50% to 60% higher now than it was a year ago. But I think there could be good reasons to celebrate the recent 20% drop in fuel prices if it continues to boost consumer confidence. See " Confidence jump will boost construction demand " Stabilized and perhaps improving consumer confidence is particularly well-timed, according to this report on housing starts "U.S. Housing Indicators Move a Long Way In the Right Direction for Recovery" I understand there's no concrete, more-money-in-your-pocket news here, but it's good to hear that some elements of the economy are turning encouraging. Best, Larry
I don't see the 20% drop you guys are talking about. Diesel was 4.97 now it is (well lowest I seen anyway) 4.59 yea big frikking whoop. This drop isn't going to stay dropped winter is comming on. Also .40 cent drop isn't even 10% let alone 20%. We get back down to $2 a gallon I might celebrate, till then there is nothing to celebrate. This is just a semi quasi feel good drop in fuel prices. Oil companies are great at getting those prices just as high as possable for as long as possable then give a slight drop and the idiots we are think yea feels good to only be paying..... Then the process starts all over again. So don't be fooled by a slight drop it will rise again.
Yeah, we went from 4.79 all the way down to 4.69. :woohoo What Steve and PSD said...
Totally agree with the mind games the oil companies and big money traders are playing. It's all about raising the cost and then waiting until everything collates to the new cost of doing business. The only problem is fuel has increased the price of so many materials no one can afford to build anything.:beatsme I think the fuel prices have a long way to go, which is down before we see any significant economic changes. On a side note I filled up last week at $4.69, today the same station had on-road for $4.39. $.30 in one week is a start, albiet a small one.
$4.53 here in Northeastern OH.
Last weeks delivery we paid 4.69 for diesel and 3.99 for number 2. This week we paid 4.38 for diesel and 3.89 for number 2. Still about 4.65-4.99 at the pump for diesel though where we are.
we are down to a whole whopping 4.69 a gallon for diesel. I am sure it will go up with labor day and foliage season around the corner. After that it will drop for the winter and heating fuel will go up. Round and round we go , where we stop , only the oil companies where we will stop. Unfortunately I don't think we will ever see 2.00 gal ever again.
