RV Fuel Issues & Prices - Post 'Em Here!

Wasting time seeing who can ferret out and report the most "accurate sources" for the "truth" in oil/gasoline pricing is so fruitless, the fact remains that gasoline and diesel are much higher now than not all that long ago. What I still don't understand is why there was NO uproar from congress way back when the "lords" of oil raised gasoline prices $2.00 a gallon overnight. Even with the current regime in DC there is still no effort to make gasoline/diesel less expensive. And I've heard the old cliché diatribes about drilling being more costly and blah, blah, blah. It's all gotten very old so we're spending more and more for gasoline to go to the pump to buy more gasoline. A curse on those who are costing us all more money so they can be wealthier.

You have gotten your antifracking comments and incorrect beliefs from folks bought and paid for by them. I posted them because a poster said it wasn't happening, I posted the article on CNG prices because another poster didn't think they were true. When you guys post weird stuff, I try to correct the record. By the way, the point of the article was not about the actor, but the Emir who paid for the film so folks like you would be taken in and his Arab natural gas deposits would be protected. Looks like he got his money's worth in your case.

I kinda love when real people argue with the simple. Fezziwig do you really think this is worth a keystroke, I mean playing with the ignorant?

The price to RV is only given to us by the generosity of the oil barons and the price of NG is do to us by the generosity of the fracking thieves. What a concept until you realize that they are out to screw us daily. Those that would propose NG and Oil are nothing but trolls for these thieves.
Summer is coming and nothing like an old fashion gas war is welcome!

It was a world market before fracking and there are massive shale deposits all around the world. You appeared to be unaware of any of this with your initial question. Much of what you know about fracking seems to come from the antifrackers that are supported by Putin and the UAE who are both spend massive amounts of money to try to stop fracking in the US and elsewhere in order to keep the world price high and to control the market. I don't think it is working though because even Tommom obviously approves of it now.

Here in southern Kentucky we have cabal that has control of gasoline/diesel prices and they run consistently higher than the surrounding counties. I paid $3.81 (gas) this afternoon down four cents from yesterday. The prices go up 25cts at a time and down by a couple of pennies. The gas lords here have us by the throat. The municipal govt has been pressed to investigate but they won't because they're in on it. Even the federals have been contacted recently but I don't trust them either.

New GMC 2500 HD duramax awaits my pleasure at the dealership!
I am rolling the dice in hopes of a better incentive....we will wait till 2:00 tomorrow to see if GM puts more money on the table! Hurt watching my old big red duramax drive off after the sale but the new one, I hope gives us as much towing and ease of driving as the old one.

Alas I do not think a new Volt will be in my future as the lease for them has doubled! I am thinking of going for the Buick GS, get pretty good mileage and is scarey fast. The other side is it is easier to get in and out, when you are 6'3+ and 67 years old one is not as limber as a young'n. I think the mileage is 21 to 30 or there abouts.

Were happy! Not so much on account that fuel prices are high, but we are an all diesel family, and finally diesel is less than gas for the last few weeks. Above are fuel prices at our local Fred Meyer store. Hans

You will likely find most across the US about the same within a dime either way.

Currently in Austria. Diesel here is 1.36 EUROS per litre. Gas is more but forgot to look. We have noticed that many small towns seem to allow dry camping overnight in parking lots or the streets. There are a whack of RV, s on the road right now. Most are 24 foot and under trailers. All pulled by cars. Still havent seen a pickup on the road. Hords of motorhomes also.

That's a little over $7.00 a gallon folks.
