I filled the tanks on my truck week before last for $3.15, but the average around here seems to be closer to $3.30.
I see all kinds of reasons given,for pricing on diesel. For all of those reason, the one thing that always comes to mind, to me, is that if you think back to when prices went up dramatically, and stayed there, was directly following Katrina. As a result of that storm, refineries closed, fuel got contaminated, and so on, so prices went up. Funny thing, no matter how high it went, and remember it was well over $4.00 a gallon for awhile, folks were still buying it just like they always did.
So as far as why the cost on diesel is as high as it still is, and the prices move like they do, is simple......People, or more specifically businesses, need fuel, and will pay whatever they have to to get it, or go out of business as a result. Not to mention, we're supposed to be conditioned by now, to think that all it takes is one little hiccup in the supply chain, and they can change the price on a whim, even though there are still billions of gallons, in reserve, in the supply chain to get through the calamity, without anyone ever knowing it happened. BUT, if they tell us enough that the problem is going to cause a decreased supply, for the increased demand, then we will be more than willing to accept the price increase without fuss. But that's just what I see happening.........

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
