Feds tax diesel higher than they tax unleaded. That ensures it will be higher at the pump.
It is worth pointing out that the Fed Govt makes more off a gallon of fuel in taxes that the oil companies do in making it and the fed govt assumes NONE of the risks or associated costs yet they call the oil companies "greedy." Amen brother.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

What is your favorite excuse that you have heard as to why diesel fuel is now $2 a gallon more than regular gasoline. Today 85 octane is $3.09 and diesel is $5.09. I wish it was $5.09 here, but alas.... Shut down pipelines, sit on leases, whatever the AIC can do to cripple the nation's fuel service, he'll do.. Gotta get those semi's on BATTERIES, doncha know... That fuqhed...

Anywhere between $4.84-$5.29 today! I love my f250 with the 6.7L PS, but if the wife would let me, I’d trade it for a gasser tomorrow! My camper is only 7,500lbs and a the new 6.8L gasser from ford would be all the truck I need!
Gas is $3.29-$3.69 around here.

Diesel went higher in 2004 on a statistical bases . ULSD ( ultra low sulfur diesel) became mandated in 2006. The change over beginning in 2004 caused a dramatic increase over Gasoline. Its the basis of the net cause we are currently seeing.

$5.49/gal here in SWW Washington. I've got a daughter who rides for the local high school's equestrian team. We have to haul her and her horse to practice twice per week. It works out to about $54/wk in diesel from now through the end of May--about $1,728 in fuel for the season. Not exactly front-pocket money. But, on the upside, all the kids wore costumes to last night's practice, since it was Halloween and all. Her horse was Mario, and she was Luigi. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/sMrJjzi.jpg)

I didn't read every reply but surely it's been said already about supposedly having less than like 30 days diesel fuel on hand in the United States currently?

The thing is, gasoline is, in many cases, almost a discretionary expense; diesel is not. Freight moves on diesel, farms run on diesel, ships run on diesel. The oil companies are holding the country hostage because they can. As for excuses, they have been practicing excuses for 60 years and we are so accustomed to getting screwed we don't even feel it anymore.
My cost for hauling gravel increased by 80% over last year, just because of what I pay for fuel. In addition, the cost of the gravel itself increased due to his fuel costs going up. These costs are not discretionary. GD

$5.59 gallon here. We ain't seen nothing yet. Europe has little energy resources and had even worse energy policies. I'd surmise that much of this diesel and energy product is being transported across the pond as shortages and prices and energy policies have made demand and more profits. That's just the way it is.
Here's the bottom line. Those euro nations have been sucking off the teat of the US taxpayer for nigh on 80 years. We supply Europe with troops, military support and lord knows what else. They have wonderful social programs, medial care, national holidays, vacations, and have enjoyed an higher standard of living than what we have in the USA because we've been footing the bill for so long. Yes you can provide all those things and safety social nets and goodies when you don't pony up and pay your own way. Trump was 100% correct about Europe's energy dependence on Russia and their non commitment to paying their way in NATO. Now we will pay more for their green policies and we're going down the same road

I can pretty much park my diesel PU, my wife has a gas jeep Cherokee and have a sxs with a heater and cab and I work from home. I have 18 ram with 20k on the clock, so I don't drive that much anyway.

Sometimes a basic graph helps folks understand shortages best... Here is a basic graph... ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/kGBXp13h/money-graph-stock-market-finance-growth-chart-picture-id843522120-2563452290.jpg)

Diesel has always been a lot higher that I can recall. Heating fuel is going to put the hurt on a lot of folks this winter…FJB Not sure how old you are but diesel was always cheaper in the 70's and 80's. Dirt cheap. That didn't change until the 90's I think... I'm sure someone will correct that if I am wrong. You are Correct !

When we left to come to Colorado for 1st rifle it was anywhere between $4.99 locally and $6.19 in Steamboat Springs. Mostly along the way it was $5.29-5.59
Each stop we put in between $210-$265 a tank.
