Sound Off on Current Diesel Price

TornadoRed · May 2, 2018

With crude oil near prices last seen in 2014 and distillate stocks near the bottom of their range over the last five years, I think diesel prices have nowhere to go except higher.

$2.85 for RUG and $3.15 for diesel at the local Speedway.

On my twice yearly drive through the USA I will never go to SPEEDWAY or LOVE's etc. Those are generally higher priced than going off the Interstate a few hundred feet. A few years ago I also avoided Valero stations since they were always more expensive, but in about the last couple of years they are usually lower than many other stations.

$2.869 yesterday at BP - Asheville NC

There's a road that goes between the major highways in NJ and S.I., NY and it's loaded with gas stations. These stations are usually filled with New Yorkers, because the gas is cheaper here. I'm running at 76% EV, so I don't frequent them much.

Which one are you talking about?

The only ones I know are I-278 that runs from US 9 across I-95 then over the Goethals Bridge, and SR 440 from the I-95/I-287 Interchange over the Outerbridge Crossing and they are all freeway routes. It sounds like you are talking about a surface street. Unless you mean SR 440 through Bayonne?

West Pond Rd, which turns into Pfeiffer Blvd.. The Turnpike, Parkway, Rt. 9 and Rt. 35 feeds onto them and takes you to the Outerbridge Crossing.

Funny you mention Love's, I was just at one for the first time in 4 years. It's about 20 miles up the road from me, so I don't get up there often, but they have a 24 hour Arby's and I had a craving for all the meats and more meat.

Love's diesel on the car side was $3.149 and $3.199 credit on the trucker side. I knew it was going to be high, but that was still a shock. I think the cheapest D2 in my town is up to $2.849, though, so it isn't lagging far behind.

I've traveled enough to know to filling up at a truck stop is a last resort because it's gouge-city. It wasn't always like that, though; I remember routinely hitting up Flying J because they'd be cheaper than anyone else. But they are as high as everyone now.

Ah, now I see. I never drove on that route. I would always be going to the Turnpike or the GSP. Only time I was on a surface street in that area was when I took SR35 down to Long Branch.

BTW, diesel is "only" $3.319 at the station around the corner from me; regular is $3.039, Mid $3.339, & Premium $3.439 and those are the lowest prices in my area.

The Loves closest to me used to one of the cheaper places to get D2 and it was right on I77. Once they started carry B10 only, their prices went up to the 5-10 cent higher than everyone else and have stayed there. QT usually has the cheapest fuel in the SC side of the Charlotte area. You just have to pay attention to the pricing differences from one side of Lake Wylie to the other. Sometimes that can be a dime or better.

Seven gas stations in that little stretch AND the Wawa there has 8 Tesla Superchargers.

If you ever have to go to Long Branch again, take the GSP to exit 105 and take Rt. 36 east, which will take you right in. Unless you have to take it, 35 sucks.

Thanks, but I probably won't be going back there. My wife wanted to show me where she lived when she was teaching at Monmouth College back in the early 70s and we took the route she knew from her parent's home on Staten Island. This was about 35+ years ago.

Passing on a chance to visit New Jersey again?

That's crazy!

I don't even have to visit Jersey to hear about how great it is. They're all moving down here.... and still telling me how great New Jersey is. The food, the culture, the everything. Makes me wonder why they were in such a hurry to GTFO.

No, Long Branch. When ever we go back to visit her relatives on Staten Island, we fly into Newark, then drive the rental to S.I. via the Turnpike. If we head upstate to other relatives part of the route is via NJ 17 to NY 17 (future I-86).

Your experience with transplants follows mine with people moving up to Northern California from L.A. & the Bay Area. I tell them if they liked their old area so much, please move back there!

That's $100/42 = 2.38 per gallon.

Cheapest diesel near me this morning is $2.70. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I'm only down a quarter in the truck.

Geobmx4life · May 18, 2018

Gouging in Canada

And the cheapest diesel in Calgary Alberta Canada is 4.50/g or 118.9/l at Costco

kjclow · May 18, 2018

My Costco doesn't sell diesel.

SilverGhost · May 18, 2018

Prices have been jumping fast here recently. Up from 2.59/g to 2.99/g in a couple weeks.

1.9ZOOK · May 22, 2018

Alright,I'm in the "Over $4 a gallon" club.
The price jumped 17 cents over night to bring it to $4.16......

truman · May 22, 2018

2.85-2.95
RUG 2.73
I wonder where the pain threshold is today for SUVs and pickups.

TornadoRed · May 22, 2018

Lots of Twin Cities stations at $3.299 and a few are even higher.

So far I've managed to find the ones that are still less than $3.00 when I need to fuel up. But if crude oil keeps going up, then sub=$3 diesel will disappear.

251 · May 23, 2018

Did a trip to Central Illinois this past weekend - most stations were $2.99 to $3.04 for diesel. Saw a few that were $2.91 plus one that was $2.79. Northern Indiana is running about $3.29 average which can be exempt or non-exempt price - if exempt add .28 fuel tax so it's $3.57 at those stations. Across the border in Southern Michigan it's $3.35

Das · May 23, 2018

Southern Nh
3.04 diesel
2.88 reg
That’s today
Yesterday
3.01 diesel
2.84 reg
Seems to be going up 2/3 cents per day
Diesel was 2.88 2 weeks ago
Do not understand why it is going up so fast post
Winter fuel and heating season.
