REesq Posted March 25 Posted March 25 It’s gone from $2.49 to $3.49 a gallon in Houston. I’m presently on a plane heading to Los Angeles where I’m told the prices are over $6.00 a gallon, which sounds about right.
Duxnutz Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Stopped in to Guam over the weekend. Price differential over 30 hrs, the time it took for us to fly to Hawaii and back (plus some mai Tai and sleep). 2
SUP8333 Posted March 26 Posted March 26 $4.29 USD/ L 98 or $16.23 USD per Gallon undiscounted.... Absolute nonsense. 1

cnov Posted March 28 Posted March 28 £1.74/litre for the premium 99 Octane juice in the UK. It seems the good stuff hasn't been hit as hard, as I saw diesel for more on the way home. 1
ha_banos Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Regular E10 (95) just went up here to 1.519£/L (9.21$/gallon) so about another 3% increase. So 13.4% in a month. 1

Something definitely went wrong with diesel pricing here in the UK. Diesel was always a fraction of the cost of petrol when diesel cars were terrible and largely without turbos. Somewhere in the 90s or early 2000s, diesel went through the roof and became more expensive than petrol. Which seems like a bonkers move to make, considering every single product in the country is delivered using diesel lorries, it's a pricing strategy that must have made a dent in the cost of all products. 2

Diesel was dirt cheap in the U.S. back in the 80’s. One of my first cars was a little diesel that got near 60 mpg on the highway. Not sure what happened but diesel did skyrocket and I lost my interest in diesel vehicles. 1

I don't mind a German diesel, our 335d has a great engine. It's ridiculously torque-y and has more than enough really smooth power. Not winning any prizes for sound or fuel efficiency if you put your foot down, but I once had 50mpg out of it on a particularly boring journey. 1

I don't know about the UK, but here in the United States, around 2009, President Obama made them remove the sulphur out of the diesel! That's when it wasn't cheap anymore!! Plus all the lubricity was gone from removing the sulphur, not good for older diesel injection pumps!! Now you have to put an additive in every fill up to replace the lubricity. When I purchased a F-350 DRW in 2002, Diesel was $1.11 in the US! 2

I’d hate to see him mistake you for a chicken poacher. 😜 1
Zonum Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I'm in California Riverside county. 87 regular is $6.19 USD. Diesel is $7.90 something close to $8 a gallon. 😅 1
