What's the scoop with the NWR refinery out by Redwater? I heard rumblings that its been a disaster since day 1 and isn't producing diesel like it should be.

Has had some challenges over the years for sure, but it’s proven it can produce more than design already. Had a good sized turnaround this fall, so hopefully they fixed what they needed to and can stay online for a long while now. Compared to Shell, Suncor, and Esso, NWR is just a small drop in the bucket though. Those Irving’s out east must be making an absolute fortune with their margins and capacity.

If you can take volume, a guy could lock in May-Sept delivery at $1.26 for dyed yesterday at UFA. Likely be up a bit today with crude being up this morning!

hows the godzilla?
Works just fine for me. Plenty of get up and go, but I don't tow more than about 14-15K. Best unloaded was 14.5 L/100 going from Edmonton to Crowsnest and back. The 10 speed works to keep the rpm down. Around town and short trips generally in the range of 16 to 17 L/100. 21 L/100 pulling a car hauler with a Ford Escape on it. Never going to match a diesel but all considered I think decent for what it is.

I went from a 2018 6.7L F350 to a 2022 7.3L gas F350 in October 2021. Quite possibly one of the best timed decisions I have ever made.
I went one better. Just picked up a 2022 Ford Maverick with a 2 litre turbo gas motor and parked my 18 Ram 3500 with 6.7 turbo diesel. 1/2 price to run.
