Hey Steve
We saw Diesel at $4.34 per gallon at Chevron ,Smith road and the Guide Meridian today.Bill
Just bought $200 of diesel at 4.399 at a Shell station on Dempster Avenue in Niles, IL this afternoon. Price continues to move up in Chicago. I think when this thread started a few days ago, I was tracking just under $4 per gallon around here.
For the MOMENT, diesel at Murphy Oil station is $3.799 here in Victoria, TX. Tomorrow will probably be another story. We continue to work on our plans to go to Alaska this summer, but if diesel prices go above $5.00/gal., we might have to reconsider. We keep telling ourselves that this a once in a lifetime trip, therefore keep going full steam ahead with the plans, at least for the time being. I figure the fuel cost for this trip will be about $6000.00. I sure hope that campground fees and food don't track the fuel cost or we will be in big trouble. If so, we might have to put in motion an activity we observed in December while in Ft. Lauderdale, i.e., stand in front of Walgreen's and Publix and ask for bus ticket money to get back home.

Not to put salt on the wounds but...today I passed several stations at $4.70. I really didn't think the price was going to rise so quickly! At this rate...$5.00 by the end of the month! Hopefully the weather will warm and dry a bit so I can "commute with the skoot!"
Ft. Lauderdal, Fl. $4.09 gl. Going to start digging for Dino Oil in my back yard.
You can not do that. The government would shut you down!
