Diesel Fuel Price

[jpmorgan37]

I got all excited today. I pulled into a Flying J outside of Portland, OR an filled up at $2.02 a gallon. After paying $2.69 in Washington, I thought that I was in paradise. Then they tacked on about 25 cents a gallon "State Road" charge, so my excitement diminished about 12 points. That's a new one on me. I'll try again on Friday before I get out of Oregon and see if they do it again. I know that its more in Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana but I was surprised at that add on charge.

If you want to check diesel prices at Flying J use this link http://www.flyingj.com/flyingjPorta...gj/diesel/dieselPricePageFlow/getDieselPrices

You might be surprised how low diesel prices are in Wyoming. They are cheaper in Wyoming than Houston.

Sorry about that John, That's a little trick the state does here for the truckers. I'm pretty sure the truckers pay a fee upon entry and that covers their tax on fuel. That $2.02 a gallon was for them already paying the tax. I've been here 18 years and still get "excited" on ocasion, then I remember, darn.

At Flying J in Red Deer, Alberta today it was 65.4 cents per liter. (abour 4 liters to US gallon, I think)

Here in McKinney TX, I went to Wal-Mart and the price was $1.98 per gallon. I go in and get a Shopping card to go purchase Diesel and I get 3¢ off per gallon. That makes my Diesel $1.95.

While driving down State Hwy 5, I saw with in 5 miles a Race Track station showing price of $2.05 the same price as regular gas, a Chevron Station at $2.29 and another station at $2.35. It really gets me that there is such a huge price difference. I wish everyone that is buying any type of fuel, that they only fuel at places that have a good price and let the rest eat their high priced fuel.

I am always checking the prices as I drive around. Glad I have two tanks for a total of just under 80 gallons. I can pick and choose most of the time.

Heres's a couple of sites that you can check fuel prices about anywhere:
http://www.gasbuddy.com/
http://www.motortrend.com/gas_prices/index.html
And FlyingJ: http://www.flyingj.com/flyingjPorta...=true&_pageLabel=flyingjPortal_portal_page_60,
GasBuddy also has a gas price temperature map, maps for the stations, etc. The Motor Trend site and GasBuddy site don't always have a particular town listed, so if it is not on one it may be listed on the other site. They are usually very accurate unless you are in a period of rapid price increase, such as a few days before a holiday.

I use the Gas Buddy and Flying J. I had checked the Flying J but they don't tell you about the "State Road" until you go in and pay. My Bad. Now I know.

Thanks for the update.

Saw diesel for $1.99 before gas card at the Walmart in Taylorsville,NC yesterday afternoon.Finally cheaper than gas again.

At Flying J in Red Deer, Alberta today it was 65.4 cents per liter. (abour 4 liters to US gallon, I think)

3.7854 litres to a US Gallon plus exchange makes that $2.97US/US Gallon.
I think in BC we are still paying $0.88/litre so $4/Gallon.

Ouch!!!

Central Wisconsin is at $2.19 which, by the way, is a whole heck of a lot better than last year.

I have paid @2.09/gal for my last 2 tanks here in Wyoming. Yesterday in Douglas, last week in Gillette.

 

[LBallard]

I Paid $1.97 at the FlyingJ in Chechota, OK. last Sunday.

buck ninety five in Colorado Springs, with 10 cent discount at
King Soopers (City Market)

It just went from $1.99 to $2.09 here in town. The stations at the freeway exits are running $.10 to $.20 higher. I'm kind of surprised they can "add" charges beyond what is shown on the pump. Do they pull that stunt on gasoline, too?

 

[jpmorgan37]

No, not on gasoline. I think it is designed to rape the truckers. Heaven help us if the truckers ever decide to rebel. It would bring this country to a immediate grinding halt. Again, that's just this old guy's opinion.

$2.12 here today. Walmart is usually $0.04 cheaper, but I cut it to close.

 

[sealman]

$1.93 less a $.10 discount @ Kroger in Tomball, TX (north of Houston).

 

[boatto5er]

$2.09 at the Exxon at US1 and Cherryhill Road in between Dumfries and Woodbridge, VA. $2.59 at the BP and Shell stations just around the corner. Now let me see, which one should I go to?

 

[jmgratz]

$1.97 at the Chevron between Riverside and Huntsville Tx on Hwy 19. $1.97 at Papa Keith's in Riverside on Hwy 19. $1.99 1 block down the street at Valero in Riverside and $2.09 in Trinity 5 miles north on Hwy 19. That is all diesel prices.
