That must translate to somewhere in the $4.10 or so a gallon I'd think.
i hope your calculations are off. I usually don't look at diesel prices until i am headed to re-fuel but i have noticed the numbers for gas getting lower which is kinda off topic, but there are a lot more gas stations around to catch my eye than diesel pumps. I really wouldn't care about the prices jumping up so much, i'll still pay, but i feel bad for the people who will have to sell a kidney to make 4.10 a gallon. Ill make sure to look around at the diesel pumps and compare prices

I have been told after the first of the year we can expect diesel to average $5.00 a gallon nationwide and gas $4.00, I dont know how true that is but if you look at the way its been going up, it seems very possible.

eh to counteract these bids of high prices, i saw another 2 stations today lower than their usual prices.... so maybe i just need to keep praying. if fuel jumps to $5 a gallon, im going to be selling body parts left and right, as well as looking to finance me a biodiesel refinery or a veggie oil setup...

$3.63 3 weeks ago, $3.59 2 wks ago $3.49 a week ago and today I about had a heart attack sunoco "winterized" diesel for $3.29 a gallon, hopefully it stays low during winter, those $400 fillups suck, not that $350 is any better but it is still $50

Might be about time to start home brew. They opened a large Bio plant in NW IA this week. The local stations sell B5. Found a place in southern MN a few months ago that had a B100 Pump. It wasn't much cheaper than #2. I imagine the oil companies will make sure they keep the costs simular.
