Yep, what Krig said. Now all the kids drive diesel trucks and never pull anything. I think they have become a status symbol for whatever reason.

Congress decided sulphur and wax be refined out of diesel some years back. Save us from global warming. Its the added refinement costs. Add that to all the add ons required on a diesel engine and you can see a major component of inflation. EVERYTHING we consume requires diesel for transportation and in the case of farm/ranch goods also production.

The big trucking companies and railroads pay significantly less than pump price. Contracting hundreds of thousands of gallons at a time. A company called mudflap does the same thing. Using mudflap wont get you the big corporate discounts but savings are significant. Heard rumors of guys filling pickups by clicking the reefer fuel button at truckstops. No road tax and no red dye.

#2 onroad is running 3.69 here most 87-E10 pumps are 2.89 in the area I caught a 2.55 pump yesterday at Woodman's

they just wrapped up harvest , but they are also going to start blending #1 in for winter so probably won't change much

I was more wondering why the difference in 87-E10 30-40 cents a gallon one place to the next.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I love my oil burners. But with the added fuel and up keep cost and more power gas vehicles and my more limited pulling needs i dont think buying another one over gas pencils out in my situation. Infact I know where a very nice big red gas truck is available just out of my current spending limits.

Then again if I could built my dream truck it would be a m37 with modern 3/4 ton drive system With disc brakes and gearing to maintain hwy speeds diesel Isuzu Npr motor on 36" buckshots bis ply or co op grip spurs if I could find them. cool old 3/4 ton truck you can take the top off and fold the windshield down like a jeep use like a truck put troops seats in and legally have people ride in the back of the truck and old enough you can't get a seat belt ticket becues it didnt come with any.

I’ve never noticed a higher up keep cost on my diesel vehicles versus my gas vehicles.

Lot of hot rod guys are burning it. But you're right, it doesn't store well at all.

That and the gas mileage sucks on E85 compared to regular gas.


There was this bar that was so rough they checked you for a gun and if you didn't have one, they gave you one.

I worked at a filling station thru high school in the '70's and diesel used to be cheaper than gas.


There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

Still was more or less until Katrina wiped out some of the diesel refineries around the Gulf
