RUG at 3.09 average

Nice price gap favoring Diesel

$2.63 for ULSD (Shell) and $2.79 for RUG. Nice gap in favor of diesel! Very nice to see the change of the tides!

You can't compare the two directly though. Your fuel is taxed much more to pay for social stuff right?

There is not sooo much social stuff going on in the UK... compared to continental europe almost nothing.
In Belgium for ex. Diesel is about 7$/USG. But it is true that the money is used to fund a lot of social stuff, sometimes also less social stuff, "the national govt. airline: Sabena" I remember a hike of 2 BEF to save the airline. (Sabena still went bankrupt after 9-11). Or other less social funding like war...
Bottom line, social or not, it hurts when you squeeze 80-100$ in your tank with a fill-up.

CAD $1.05/L for ULSD and $1.20/L for 87 octane in Langley B.C.

goverment taxing definately not used to upgrade roads etc

think it so high as to calm traffic on roads eg :if you cant afford to put fuel in your car then you are polluting the enviroment alot less and there is less congestion on the roads

either way the uk govermeny are robbing people blind

Old typing habits die hard.

$2.99/ga. ULSD in L.A.

Well, someone has to pay for all those wars.... that cost a lot of money, so they skim the people al the way to the last penny/pence.

It's for sure not comming out of their pockets.

I can't really be happy that diesel is less than RUG when Diesel is still $2.70 a gallon... Someone has to thumb these oil company monopolies in the eye before I have to resort to riding my bike to work!

Well riding your bike to work is good excersize, and I do it, so anyone can do it! (grin). (we still love the Passat!)

In some Midwestern states, regular is 87 dino while plus is 89 E10 with a tax subsidy.

Here in SoCal, diesel is drifting down: lots more stations less than $2.99, more stations at $2.95, even one or two at $2.89. I think RUG is also starting to come down, from $3.40+ to the mid-$3.30s.

Too bad you don't have a car that runs on Propane.

Less energy in propane so that means lower mpgs .

Well, an engine actually burns KG of fuel, and propane weighs 640g/l regular gas weighs 720g/l.
You can do the calculating of how much percent you use more.

I used to drive on LPG but in the days of carburators and before cat. convertors. I tuned it myself so that the car would stall if I pressed the clutch, once the clutch released the engine would once again engage. (at the stoplights, smart use of the choke, that's if I had to come to a full stop, otherwise depress the clutch in gear and voila )

I averaged 50MPG about 4,7l/100km back than already using LPG!!! (Only I could run the car, which was another benefit, a thief would not get far if they didn't know how to drive my car) The installation had an electronic module and was custom made for my car and the LPG was directly injected below the carburator. (Where I changed the adjustment to a super lean mixture, I dare to say below stoichiometric mixture ratio.) I know all the blah blah about not being good for the valves etc... but I sold the car with 200.000 plus km on the odo, so I don't think that was much of a problem.

Funny thing though... back than I filled up for less than 10 us cents per liter, while the gasoline back than was already about a dollar per liter. I did a lot of travel back than, Italy was the most expensive with about 70 us cents per liter, Holland was about 10 cents as well, Germany about 35 cents as well as in the UK about 35 cents.... I'm talking end of the eighties/early nineties.


About the drive,

if you could talk about an octane rating with LPG it is about 100+, the ride was smooth but slightly lazier than gasoline. The engine oil stayed longer clean, and the emissions were clean(er).

I used to be friends with a manufacturer of these installations, and I paid factory cost for my install and equipment which came out to about 450$ back than.

I saved thousands $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ over the years I drove that car.

$2.60 for ULSD and $2.83 for RUG. Gotta luv havin' a TDI right now!!!
Just think...a couple of months ago some people chose to buy a gasser instead of a TDI because the cost of diesel was higher!! They must really be kicking themselves right about now!! Either that or they are trying to get the dealership to take the gasser back!!

$3.09 ULSD , $3.17 RUG this morning in Denver

Ok, thanks. Don't see that around here.

For some reason diesel prices are holding while gas is going up...

RUG 3.109
Plus 3.179
Premium3.259
ULSD 2.949

This has become standard fare lately. Typically diesel down here has been competing with Premium...glad to see thi change.
