What is the price? Here, you can buy 1L for 21RUB ~87cents, so 1Gal of diesel ~$3,4 in Moscow, in regions it's cheaper, maybe ~$3. Gasoline more expensive ~$3,6-4 depending on octane.Fofiddy wrote:Oh just rub it in Makc
...but diesel is a scam in the US. It's normally $1 more per gallon even though it takes less processing to produce ...
In NJ it is roughly $3.80/gallon for 87 octane and $4.70/gallon for Diesel. Obviously these numbers go up/down depending on exact local conditions but in NJ we have very low if not the lowest taxes on fuel so expect prices to be higher by 20-30 cents in a majority of other states.yarilo wrote:What is the price?
I was just about to reply to Fofiddy's comment about diesel's "normal" price. Yeah, it was (relatively) very recent that diesel surpassed gas. Since that time, I've seen numerous TV interviews with truck drivers & it is insane what they are dealing with price-wise and life-wise.blink32 wrote: Diesel wasn't always more expensive than Gasoline. This is a fairly recent happening, maybe within the past 2-3 years? I can't say exactly when Diesel surpassed Gasoline but I do remember it being anywhere from $0.50 cents to $1.00 cheaper at the pump.
I call Shenanigans! $5.40 a gallon is the most I've seen diesel for around here. What I'm floored at is the complete F-ing waste of time and money the US Corn based ethanol market is. Fuel cell technology is so far off it's ridiculous and not to mention expensive (see Honda FCX and why you can't buy one.) Biodeisel, biodiesel, Biodiesel. I mean Come-on we in US are totally aware of the stigma surrounding our weight, we should just bite the bullet and show we have a sense of humor by driving vehicles smell like french fries.NVSteve wrote:

Ditto. Don't even get me started. There's only one given when speaking of our government: too little, too late. Let's pass legislation mandating all auto mfrs. need to produce vehicles that get 35+mpg (average spread over all models) by 2050. Whoop-dee-f'ing-doo.
