Gas Prices again!!! Diesel currently is 7,7 $ a Gallon!!!

[bavarian_blazer]

gallon = about 3,8 liter
1liter= 1,39 Euro
1Euro = about 1,45 Dollar


===> So one Gallon Diesel is about 7,7 $ .... this is ridiculous

gas is about 8,2$ a gallon!!!

At $8/gallon, I'll ride a bike.

 

[mr.smartass]

At $8 a gallon I'll just buy a gun and rob people.

 

[cbbr]

How will you afford the getaway car?

 

[mr.smartass]

Take their car and their gas. Just wait for them to pull out of the gas station.

Could you imagine how bad it would be if the dollar was stronger? Oil at $98/bbl would be worse if it was 1 Euro to 2 Dollars.

If the dollar was stronger, Oil would still be $50.00 per barrel.

I would seriously look at making my own biodiesel. Hell The cheap diesel here is more expensive then 91 oct from chevron WTF!?

diesel takes less to refine, so that means they get to charge more. You have to remember that oil is the only commodity not governed by supply and demand. It gets to change on speculation... Heck, it gets to change because someone wants to buy a new private jet.

That's the underlying point I was going to bring up. Sure, oil may look expensive but with a weak dollar, it's not as bad as one might think.

Just remember, it's not actually that much (Cost per barrel of oil).

It's the futures' price, not the actual price.

That's what pisses me off the most... diesel is a product of the gasoline refining procedure, and can be gotten by itself with less refining than gasoline, so why is it more expensive?

 

[bavarian_blazer]

Is diesel more expensive than gas in the USA? Over here Diesel is and has always been cheaper than gas (about 10 cent or so)

 

[Cowboy_80]

it's only cheaper there because of the extreme gas tax you pay. Your gas would be cheaper otherwise.

Gas prices have trickled down a bit here in OH over the past three days to $2.97 but I'm sure that will change eventually...

 

[BLIDVL]

Oil went up a bunch this morning, gas prices here in N. Va are around $2.95 per gallon. The "media" says it's gonna jump alot here soon, probably because of Turkey day traveling and corporate greed.

 

[tacomuncher]
