Diesel Fuel Prices!

[DECKERTREE]

After filling up 2 chip trucks,1 crane, and 1 chipper today at $4.40 a gallon I almost went home instead to work. Prices are getting out of control.

 

[treehumper]

I think that would be even more motivation to get out there and work! YIKES!!

Inflate your billing accordingly. Like the grocers, retailers and candlestick makers, tomorrow's invoices should already have a 5% increase.

 

[RDMOTT]

For your chippers and stump grinders that use diesel fuel you can substitute with #2 heating oil. This eliminates the road tax.

I paid $4.19 and thought that was bad

 

[TreeBarber]

I saw at it was $3.95 at Safeway today.
Port Angeles Washington.

approx $8.35 per gallon here in the UK so don't sweat it. I cry at the filling station

 

[Jamin_Mayer]

Drove around today with Dad while on the way to the doctor and noticed $3.75. Highest its been around here. It costs $100 to fill a 3500 from nearly empty to full. Crazy!!

Ok I gallon = 3.78 litres

Therefore one litre = 1.164 dollars.

In uk pounds thats only 58p a litre ( I used a basic exchange rate of 2 dollars to the pound)

What a forkin bargain.

A litre of fuel here costs 1.07 pounds, thats double what you pay. We pay in pounds what you pay in dollars, even though the exchange is 2:1. Go figure!!

Howdy Rupe!

Where ya been? Building fences?

 

[Rupe]

I've been here all along, mostly cutting and not much building!!

I love it too, when americans moan about fuel prices. They just don't know how good they've got it. There is a reason for all the V8 pickups and SUVs that roam America.
We pay the equivalent of 8,16$ a gallon here!

I think that these prices are the future.

Buggin me even more as I was finally buying biodiesel for the same or even lower price than petroleum diesel but now paid $4.90 for 100g of bio this week! Yikes!

BTW I remember gas in the .25 a gallon range as a kid in NY.

55 cents per gal when I was 17 pumping gas.

It's really gone up alot here in the past 1.5 weeks went from $3.35 to $3.99 Ouch.

However the other day things went my way i suppose. Pulled up to the station, noticed the sign said $3.79 gallon as i cringed. However it's not really an option to fillup so we did chip truck, bucket, one ton and my pickup. After we'd finished up i looked at the receipt for the fuel and noticed i'd only been charged $2.79 a gallon. Prob should have said something but it felt pretty good to get a little back.

Anyhow. I'm in the opinion that free estimates may go out the window, service area will have to shrink and prices are on the rise.

I remember .50/Gal for gas when my brother and I got our first snowmobile. Diesel is $4.17/Gal in Rutland, got off-road diesel for the chipper today for $3.86/Gal.
