$45 richer today. Fuel sign mistake.

[Scott & Heather]

At a flying J in peculiar Missouri and they had their big sign posted as $2.79 a gal for diesel cash price. I went in to pay and was told it was $3.09 a gal. I told them about the sign and they went and looked and honored the mistake price. Quite neighborly of them if you ask me.

LOL I bet that sign is gone now,fuel is $2.87 around here now it is sad that Loves,TA,and Pilot control the price of fuel on the interstates.I don't buy nothing from Pilot that English owned outfit would have us paying 7 bucks a gal if they could get by with it

    There have been big changes on the East Coast as well in the past few years.  Anywhere there was a Flying J near, the prices for diesel were lower by a LOT.   Then Jay Call died, Flying J got bought and then grabbed by Pilot.  TA had been around for years but were stolid.  So Loves swooped in and set up a lot of new truck stops to fill in anywhere that didn't have competition.  So now there's no competition among the big players.  Local stations have clued in to the fact that lots of their diesels sales are drivers spending Somebody Else's Money (a guy driving a company truck fills up and just takes the receipt to the boss) so price isn't a factor.  Add that to the Saudis and Russians driving up crude prices up 60 - 70% in the past year and a half or so, and it doesn't take strong binoculars to see $4.00 again.

I thought our president said he was a deal maker.

Prescription drugs was first, then everything else.

I netted $90.00 on my tax return this year over last.

Thank-you Mr. President....

I still buy my fuel from a Call own family outfit here called Maverick their prices are cheaper than WalMart,lol yep 4 to 5 bucks a gal for fuel is not far off and the prices of buses are going to tank again

[eagle19952]

what...I thought we were all to pay less...

PS I didn't say I paid zero I paid $90.00 less than last year.

I pulled into a station once and diesel at the pump was going for 42 cents per gallon.  Should have been over $4 a gallon at the time.  No, I didn't fuel up first.

For how long do you think will diesel be available ? I'm 51 and it will be 3 to 4 years before i expect my ddec II bus conversion to be ready to hit the road... i would like to use it for at least 15 years... What's your view ?

[chessie4905]

It's supposed to run out in 14 years.

[buswarrior]

A long time.

Nothing comes close on portable energy content, and speed of replenishment into the vehicle.

The economy runs on diesel, it ain't going anywhere.

Continue building buses.

Happy coaching!
