Diesel

Is diesel in CA. Over 5 bucks? Getting up in the 4's in Pa.

Strange - in the past we've been higher than most places here in Wisconsin, but right now diesel is showing $3.09/g and up on Gas Buddy. Unleaded gas is about $3.09

What's causing it to be so much higher in other places?

"What's causing it to be so much higher in other places?"

I'm going to bet that that question no matter how innocent will lead to a closed thread.  But then I'm usually wrong.  Ha, Jack

Equivalent of $4.86 usd per gallon here in southern Ontario, and climbing...

$5 is readily within range of the predictions.

Happy coaching!

Yup, $5 in SoCal, and so is also 91 octane gasoline.  Whoopee.

I really didn't mean it in a way as to start anything controversial - historically we had fuel prices above the national average but recently we've been way below. I was thinking more about supply issues related to refineries and other such things being shut down somewhere.

Tax rates alone only explain a part of the difference, so there is something beyond the tax conversation here. The best I can see with Jan 2022 data, the tax difference between California and Wisconsin is $0.67/gallon. Total taxes per gallon of diesel (state and federal) in Wisconsin is $0.573 and in California is $1.243.

Yes, that's a big gap is taxes, but it doesn't explain the gap between pump prices of $3.09/gal and $5.00/gal. There is still leaves about $1.25 difference in price after the tax difference is figured in. My thought was that there is some connection to the supply side of things causing the higher prices.

May be just restocking supplies. Price may jump substantially  in coming weeks.

[usbusin]

Also the cost of doing business in different parts of the country.

[sledhead]

just blame it on covid and raise the prices ..

thats what everyone else ( all business ) r doing

everything has gone up , except my pay

diesel at loves was $4.15 today in bushnell fl

[lostagain]

It might not make you Americans feel better, but you have to appreciate that you have the cheapest fuel in the world. Prices are higher in most other, if not all, other countries...

[dtcerrato]

One hour N of Bushnell FL you can find diesel for $3.48/gal. I just don't get it!...  The prices that it... The differences in such close proximity. In a 30 minute drive here in central Florida Gasoline prices for regular vary from $3.14 to $3.89 per gal.

ok Dan

tell me more as I want to fill up when I have to leave and will be on I75 n

thanks   dave

Dave that's part of your issue, you're on the I-75 corridor. We lie between two corridors - I-75 & I-95 where you can find price fluctuations. The only area I can think of where fuel prices moderate from the "corridor prices" would be State Rd 200 in Ocala - West of the freeway by a minimum of 1/2 dozen miles. But I can't pinpoint a convenient fuel stop as we are in the opposite (Eastern) direction by almost an hour. Wish I could be of more help. In the last couple days the cheapest across the board fuel prices have been at Murphy's fuel stations & actually underselling Sam's Club by a good leap.

[chessie4905]

Download the Gasbuddy app. Its free and will save money on gas and diesel. Yes, some stations are too small for a coach, but not all.

[dtcerrato]

Hey Dave there's a big Circle K at 527 Buenos Aries Blvd 0n US 27/441 in Lady Lake just N of you. Diesel $3.31/gal that's .84/gal cheaper than Bushnell. Google & call the station if you like & tell us how you do for the heck of it! Got that info from Gas Buddy as Chessie suggested...
