Whats up with the price of diesel?

[scottp]

Last week diesel was $1.16 and now its $1.30 and gasoline has been steady at 99.9. Is there some kind of diesel shortage?

Winter Diesel, different grade, different refining process, and I'm sure some plant somewhere hasn't fired up to where they should be.

Glad I bought a diesel last winter....

Shouldn't be that much more for winter diesel

Gas is 1.26 up here at Dawson Creek and I think diesel was around 1.38.

Am in Houston right now and gas is 2.49/gal avg and diesel is 3.30/gal avg. Our prices in Canada are garb even if they claim winter oil rigs are firing up as most rigs now are running nat. gas/ diesel combo so theoretically prices should not change that much but the wonderful thing about Capitalism is that they can screw us and we take it as we have no choice with fuels unless we all quit work and stay home. That would really shake things up.

Paid 1.53 a L in ft Mac this summer.... Hope I don't have any work up there this winter

There are no problems with refining I can assure you that
It just comes down to supply and demand, more trucks on the road makes the prices go up, the farther you go away from the source of the oil the more it costs to ship it

Cheaper??? Thanks for the heads up. And don't buy fuel at Canadian tire in Edson or the east bound esso they are the first to jack the prices up.

Diesel fuelled vehicles and equipment are only a small part of the reason for jacking the price of diesel when it gets cold. The biggest reason is home heating oil. Lots of places in eastern Canada and the states still use oil for heat. Home heating oil is diesel without the additives. Retarded provinces in the east place moratoriums on fracking because it's "bad" for the environment yet they continue to burn oil instead of natural gas which everyone knows is much cleaner. And it's right under their feet but the Starbucks/Volvo/Sierra club trendies don't want to take advantage of it. Not politically correct. They'd rather pollute more with oil while they lecture us about the oil sands.
Look at what's happening in New York and the rest of the eastern part of the continent. Cold and snowy means high diesel prices for the rest of us. We'd better get used to it.
