Price of fuel
« on: May 27, 2010, 01:06:21 am »
I think the current "decline" in the price of gas (my diesel has not come down here) is simply a way (limp-wristed diversion that is....) to make the destruction of the Gulf more palatable to us poor slobs.

I must admit, I feel guilty every time I twist the key to go somewhere. How come the guys in the Tahoes and other big crappers never feel guilty???????

I feel guilty when I fire up the rig too, but probably for different reasons.

I feel a little less guilty when I fire up the motorcycle to go to work in the summer...

The price of diesel has dropped about 25 cents in the last 3 weeks. It's now $2.99 a gallon here in central WA.

Gas here is about $1.15/L, diesel is about $1.09/L

Outside of the GVRD diesel is more like $1.05/L although I saw a co-op at $0.999/L over the weekend.  Any time I'm past Langley I always fill up and save the $0.07/L or so GVRD taxes...

diesel is $3.99 a gallon right now, and unleaded gas is $3.35

I am happy to ride my bike(that gets 60MPG) whenever possible, even in the rain...

It just dropped to $2.96 /gal here..    I'm actually surprised it hasn't gone up..  Seems like when there is ANY sort of disaster, even one looming, the price shoots right up.. OF course the economy is still on the stagnant side of things and people are still pinching pennies a bit..  I feel no guilt..  And I'm not even running WVO, or a diesel for that matter right now.. Just make every trip count..  And motoring around in that big old Caprice Wagon is probably still more eco friendly than buying a Prius...

I think diesel is 0.91c/L here at the moment.

I feel bad about driving my car because it burns so much oil. But today is it's last day :)
