fsc is based on a specified mpg and wholly achievable

beat the mpg = free money

any non shitty run trucking company profits and expands during high fuel price times

Please do explain to us what "fsc" is and the theory behind how it works.

Not all make more money. Many make much less. Are they paid by the mile? Are they in a contract to deliver? Are they employees of a trucking company or independently owned? Let me just say this, in a time of high diesel prices, almost everything you buy costs more. Everything.

fsc = fuel surcharge, we all loose in the big picture.

87 E10 is $2.39/gal. today while diesel dropped to $3.85/gal from $3.89.

 

[Jim Frye]

Diesel has dropped!

Filled the cars up today. 87 E10 is $2.37/gal. Diesel dropped to $3.59/gal. Still not worth it.

 

[mr overkill]

2.99 by me

 

[Jim Frye]

87 E10 is $2.32/gal. today. Diesel went back up to $3.89/gal. $3.75 at some stations, but none that I'd fill up at.

 

[R CRUZE]

I saw Diesel today for 3.29.

 

[Aphidman]

I’ve had my Cruze Diesel for all of 3 weeks, and in that time, the price of diesel fuel has dropped about 20¢/litre (Canadian), which would be about 85¢ (US) per US gallon, if my conversions are correct.

The cheapest diesel near me runs C$1.149/litre. However, regular gasoline at the same station is C$0.89.9/litre, so the absolute price difference between gas and diesel is still 25¢/litre, about what it was 3 weeks ago.

I live in Calgary, Alberta, the capital of the Canadian petroleum industry, and this is a very nervous town right now. 2015 is going to be a tough year in the oil patch. (I have to keep reminding myself that there will be economic winners from this, as well as losers.)

Gotta love Alberta, at least residents there benefit from their oil production by getting cheaper gas/diesel than any where else in Canada.

$2.95 here in TX, being close to the refinery helps keep the delivery cost down.

 

[revjpeterson]

Dropped another dime here in Northern Iowa today. I filled up for $3.29, and unleaded E10 was down to 2.49.

Nice! This is the first I've heard of diesel under $3 a gallon.

 

[NHRA]

When I purchased my Diesel back in July, Gasoline was 3.69 a gallon and diesel was 3.79 a gallon. Today I filled up for 3.13 gallon diesel, and gas is down to 2.31 a gallon. Diesel down .66 cents, and gas 1.36.

 

[Jim Frye]

Today I filled Black Betty with Sunoco 87 E10 for $2.29/gal. Diesel is still $3.89/gal.

 

[Vetterin]

What suprised me is that around here E85 has always been about $1.00/gal cheaper than 87 but now the difference is only $0.20/gal. Diesel????? would have to get about 117 mpg to offset the cost.
