Oil Prices And Gas, When Do You Stop

[Venom]

Today, 13.05.2008, Diesel temporary cost more than 91-octane petrol. It was the first time I saw this EVER in my country! To make it clear: petrol wasn't cheaper than yesterday, Diesel was just more expensive. Nobody can tell me that this is a purely economical consequence of supply and demand. Without going into details: petrol and Diesel are extracted from petroleum in a more or less constant ratio. A higher Diesel production following higher Diesel consumption means more and therefore cheaper petrol. But for some reasons this locic doesn't reach the petrol stations...

Deisel In The United States is now more the Regular Unleaed, Diesel here is right around $4.17-$.25 a gallon. the average for Gas (Petro) here is $3.85(The National Average is $3.67) the higher price is some States and Cities in this Country are already over $.00 other are still at the "Cheaper" $3.67--$3.85

As far as I know there are not so much Diesel-engined passenger cars around in the USA, so the demand must be rather low. Is the Diesel considered as an economical alternative in the States? If not, US-Diesel-drivers may be a little bit more lucky than in Europe...

I live in th North Suburabs of Chicago, A Friend of mine had a company car and had an errand to run on, I went with them just to go, we passed countless Stations both Name ie: Philips, Citgo ect to smaller owned ones and I the prices for regular unleaded where any wherefrom $3.85 to $4.25, but keep in mind Cook County Illinois, Specificly the City of Chicago has a Gas tax so gas within the Chicago city limits I have seen as high as $4.50-$4.75 for regular but as low as $4.00

Actualy there is a dmeand for Deilsel in the United States, all our Commerce, to stores, Clothing, Food ect ect are all transported by Semi Trailer Truck who take only Deisel, and many are finishing up their currents runs and selleing thier rigs, as they say they make a little if any profit now, Deilse in Chicaog can be found for as low as $4.05 or as high as $4.25 a gallon and th cost of their deisel fuel is now showing up in the basic cost of food, they are charging stores ore for the transport of goods and we as consumers here pay more for our daily basic needs,

Surely the trucks are running on Diesel; wait till normal passanger cars, saloons and so on, are ordered as oil burners. Around here, 40-50% of all cars are belonging to this category.

No doubt, saw one station near me, the front Marque where the prices usualy go were all empty, with a long banner hanging from the from of the Station "Welcome to ******'s, Citgo, your Gold American Express Is Welcomed Here"
that pretty much says it all
