Gas Prices - Washington

[shlingdawg]

Taken this morning along Highway 16 in Port Orchard. Glad I don't have a diesel.

Holy Friggin COW!!
.....oh wait, arent we all gonna be apart of the European Union anyway? Maybe this is the nations' way of easing into the situation

Do the math, it is still cheaper to drive a diesel:
Cost to drive a gas VW Jetta 1000 miles: $120 (29mpg @ $3.49)
Cost to drive a diesel VW Jetta 1000 miles: $97 (44mpg @ $4.29)

I saw $4 diesel in SLC today, I topped off with some B40 for $3.79 last week, most I have ever paid for a gallon... I don't know why its so high, is there a diesel fuel crunch right now? I thought prices would go down with warmer temps... *shrug*

My motor home may be the worst of both...uses diesel and gets only 8 mpg. On the other hand, I can drive from FL to UT and back for the price of two airline tickets, and then have an inexpensive place to stay for several months. My complaint is this: When I bought the diesel motor home, diesel fuel was historically much less expensive than regular. Somewhere along the way, it passed the price of all gasoline grades. I don't know why.

Here is a thought for you Diesel folks.

Converting my Ford F250 will cost $2700 to run SVO.
Thats 629 gallons at $4.29 per.

I burn about 2,000 gals year. Thats $8,580 if I ran Diesel.

Seems like a good ROI.

Now it looks like a better idea than my bioD operation.
At .81 gal for BioD I still have a yearly cost of $1620.

If I can sell my Biod setup for $1000 its a wash.

That won't go away completely, I'd expect to still have
about $500 year in Fuel costs. But I save $8,000 yr.
I can lug a lot o grease for $8K.

I could buy myself a new gas guzzling ATV with the savings.

BTW, Diesel is $4.25 in southern Utah this morning.
