Part of the reason diesel prices have gone up is the more refinining due to emissions more sulfer must be taken out. In winter diesel goes up because winter fuel is a mix of 1 and 2. Part of the reason of both gas and diesel prices supposidly is the "shortage" of crude oil yet they cut production and raise it so how can theire be a shortage but i do know that is oil were getting out of saudi arabia has more parifins (trash) in it and is a lower grade crude oil then previously getting and getting out of the US. ONe thing i never understand is barrel prices go up 2 cents and price at the pump goes up 6 barrel prices go down 2 dollars and prices at the pump stay the same or go down only a cent. another thing that really really mistifies me how stations that dont get deliveries everday can fluctuatate 5 cents in one day honest. that doesnt make sense to me if they paid x amout per gallon when the tanker came and they got their overhead how can the price fluctuate until they get their next shipment. highway robbery. they know they got us over a barrel just like how can gas always go up on thursday and down on tuesday? one thing that also amazes me is gas prices tend to have a direct influence to the pump yet the barrel prices and the barrel will take 3+ months to get to the pump by the time it gets shipped refined. also in by chicago in marengo and mchenry county prces are cheaper right now then in rockford how can that be? first off it gets trucked from rockford to marengo so they got more transport charges and marengo has extra taxes for the trains metra. so how can they be cheaper. waht woudl amaze you is the fact that i know somone who works for union pacific railroad and no joke when they buy fuel and the quanitties they buy it in are paying right around 90 cents per gallon. anyways im off my soap box
