racer254 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Gotta convince the dipshits that it isn't the current administration or green energy policies causing it. NOPE blame it on big oil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat45 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Funny how the oil companies only want to price gouge when dems are in office. The last time diesel was this high obama was running things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, i forgot there was a spike in the spring of 08 for a few months. Then it started to get high again in 11 or 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was paying $.95 a gallon for diesel and regular gas was $1.00 under Clinton, but it didn't last, it's a shame diesel the least refined product costs more gas.

The 1st diesel i bought was a 97 f250 back in 01 or so. I remember paying under $1 a few times but it's been steadily going up since. I usually only work nov to july, but I'm shutting down early this year. Rates are low and fuel too high, no point putting the miles on right now. Maybe by fall they'll come down some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truck gets about 16 mpg driving around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
