Jeff. There is only one station in the area, that I know of, that sells red diesel. It also sells race fuel. There are probably more that I don't know about. You will be fined bit time if caught putting red diesel in your vehicle, since it's only supposed to be used in farm equipment. I don't know if it can be used in industrial machines or not.

Merv, I don't think I have ever seen it at any pumps in socal, never paying any attention. Out in the farming community over the hill should be readily available. I hear its cheep, half the price as road diesel due to road tax and whatever tax they tack on the price.

Up $.10 around here.

Red/off road diesel is available in a few stations around here.

DO NOT get caught with it in your on road vehicle. Huge multi thousand dollar fine.

State troopers will stick your tank to check it. ( mostly large trucks...)

Seahawk 10-19-2022 01:10 PM

Here as well. I get red D 50 gallons at a time for my tractors. They have really cracked down on folks trying to load and go but I have been going to the same place for almost 28 years.

^^^ At least he was precise with the 9/10 of a cent. :D

Evans, Marv 10-20-2022 03:28 PM

News reports say the average price of gas has dropped below the $6.00 mark. I haven't seen any lately.

Tervuren 10-20-2022 03:31 PM

Somedays I check in on this thread and feel like this.

cockerpunk 10-21-2022 12:06 PM

JackDidley 10-21-2022 07:15 PM

$3.19 for 87 at Sams today. $3.73 for 93.
Saw a new scam at the pump. Guy in front of me is pumping and a guy comes up with a gas can and asks for a couple gallons. The fellow says sure and puts some gas in the can for him. Guy heads across the lot with his can. I get my gas and here comes the guy with the can asking the lady next to me for a couple gallons. She said no and I left.

Racerbvd 10-21-2022 07:40 PM

Gas has gone up .20 locally.

KFC911 10-22-2022 04:07 AM

Just checked GB ... 'cause I need gas today... My goto station is 3.24 (as are quite a few), but one I will pass is at 3.10.... might have to stop there instead.... It's a block out-of-the way....but... Just because :D.

Another huge release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to get us through the November election.

Sooner or later 10-22-2022 06:21 AM

I had hoped they wouldn't release the last 15 million from the original 180 million. Not at all surprised. This will hit the market in December.

rfuerst911sc 10-22-2022 06:35 AM

Wishful thinking but our government regardless of party has to realize we have too much land mass to have electric vehicles be the total solution to global warming/pollution . Electric vehicles CAN be PART of the solution . We need to continue to use fossil fuels AND develop equivalent bio fuels . And continue to work on alternates like hydrogen or any other viable fuel source .

Any alternate fuel solutions HAS to include the fuel companies as they already have the infrastructure in place which is very $$$ to build from scratch . The oil companies like any business want to make money . Whether they are hauling gas/diesel made from dino or made from algae they don't care as long as they can turn a profit . All the problems can be solved , just need the right people involved to solve the problems . Just my humble opinion :D

fintstone 10-22-2022 06:57 AM

They would have to want to solve the problem...that they intentionally caused. That would not increase their power one bit.

The ability of a President to use/release the SPR for political purposes to influence an election is quite a good thing if you are in charge and have failing policies that massively increased the price of gas. It seems a twofold benefit as you temporarily lower prices and your administration receives the money from the sale of the released oil which your successor must buy back at much higher prices.

I am worried what this will mean in Jan and Feb when it gets really cold (and later) as production has seemingly been reduced to account for the releases. When the releases stop, there will be no quick replacement from the private sector unless something changes.

I filled my truck at $3.99 when Saudi announced the cut back and "they" were predicting big gas price hikes. Now, two weeks later, it's $3.49. WTF?

JackDidley 10-24-2022 12:21 PM

$3.24 for 87 at Sams today.

Only good prices are at Sams or Costco. Convenience stores are generally 40 to 50 cents higher.

stevej37 10-24-2022 03:17 PM

We have both...but the best price is $4.03 for reg today.
I feel we are getting ripped off.:D
