Sound Off on Current Diesel Price

[Mozambiquer]

I didn't see what the unleaded was, but in Versailles MO diesel is 2.39 per gallon. It's been going up...

 

[2012jsw]

Just paid $3.59 for diesel in SoCal. The first station I passed up was $3.79

 

[El Dobro]

$2.65 for RUG and $3.05 for diesel at the local Speedway.

 

[Hinzipwo]

i paid $1.50 for "premium" diesel where i live in Canada

 

[Lightflyer1]

$2.17 here near me and I am on my way to fill up now. Just got back and saw prices up to $2.49. Got to hurry before they up the price.

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

I'm seeing prices in the $2.99 - $3.48 range around here. Seems like a big jump,

 

[prsa01]

Are we thinking the south texas weather issue are going to impact refinery output/supply/price across the country?

 

[jayb79]

But that's the price for a liter, so almost $6.00 for a gallon. Most people don't realize how good we have it here.

 

[SilverGhost]

Just filled up - RUG has jumped 10c a day for a week or so around here. D2 is slowly following suit.

Damn politics....

I fueled up for 2.499 for diesel in osage beach mo hy-vee. It's been going up steadily. Makes me glad I drive a Volkswagen tdi.

 

[El Dobro]

$2.73 for RUG and $3.09 for diesel at the local Speedway. $3.23 for premium gas.

 

[GlowBugTDI]

Paid 2.74 for diesel and 2.51 for 88 octane yesterday at a QuikTrip. Filled the car ALL the way, up as I know they will only rise from here. Been on a steady climb since early January

 

[jdavis97]

3.69 at the local speedway, it's the cheapest in the city/town I am usually in. 25 minutes away there is a casino that is apparently at 2.90 for California that is crazy.

 

[TornadoRed]

Where I filled up yesterday. Most stations are charging $2.699-$2.899 for diesel today. Two weeks ago I paid $2.919 for some premium super-winterized diesel at Cenex when we were expecting -20°F, but temperatures have warmed considerably into the +20°/+40° range so gelling is not a critical issue.

 

[crashtested]

$1.249/L in Nelson, BC right now

 

[Pat Dolan]

$1.109 last fill here but paid $1.189 in SK today, 1.179 in MB last week.

 

[crashtested]

Spiked to $1.289/L today at the local Shell. i drop around to the 3 stations in town and still got $1.249 - yikes!

 

[Nuje]

But that's the price for a liter, so almost $6.00 for a gallon. Most people don't realize how good we have it here.

$1.50CAD/L = $5.68CAD/gal(US) = $4.45USD/gal.
So, yes - more expensive, but not quite as egregious as $6/gal. Also, had to go to emergency room at hospital a while ago; left without paying a dime because...Canada.

$1.179/L here on Vancouver Island; RUG up to $1.409/L

 

[El Dobro]

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

 

[Terrific-In-Tahoma]

well, CAD $1.50 per litre, is not as bad as Europeès prices, but not as good as the USAs.

$1.50CAD/L = $5.68CAD/gal(US) = $4.45USD/gal.

If you look on the crude oil pricing, this value has been going up since November 2020, with little change in the last few days.

The more recent surge in prices seems to be more about the recent winter freeze mixed with a helping corporate anxiety over the new administration's fossil fuel policy. We may a see a little dip after refineries recover capacity, but I believe an ongoing concern over future profits will keep fuel prices up and probably climbing.

Distillate inventories declined 9.7 million barrels in the week ending February 26th, and gasoline inventories fell even further. So the deep freeze in Texas and the shutdown of refineries appear to be the biggest reason for rising fuel prices.

 

[rotarykid]

Paid 3.169 for B20 last Friday, D2 is running 2.599-2.799, RUG is 2.60-2.859 in the Littleton CO area

 

[wildn]

$3.70 per gal in SoCal

Yes, the deep freeze had an effect on valving and moving of material but the ultimate blame for the current spike in fuel prices is directly related to the one year shutdown of the global economy. 3 of the 4 major refineries in Texas were shutdown for extended times over the last 12 months since no one was going anywhere. Remember those extremely low prices mid-summer? My own records showed diesel as low as what I use to pay just before the ULSD switch over, so back to 05-06. We are now making up the difference.

 

[MukGyver]

$3.70 per gal in SoCal

Same in No. Cal

 

[BuckeyeMan71]

$3.25 here in Ohio

 

[kjclow]

$2.79 in SC

 

[2012jsw]

Just filled up this morning RUG was $3.79 and diesel was $3.89
Southern California

 

[SilverGhost]

RUG is touching $3.00/gal here is SoFlo. D2 is right there with it.

The rate at which prices have been marching steadily up doesn't match other normal weather events. I could see low inventory being an issue, but then I also see producers best interest is for prices to climb and use weather/pandemic shut down/ policy changes as excuse.

What ever the reason I don't like how quickly the prices started rising and it's affecting budgets.
