I guess CT and VT are no longer part of New England?

 

Gasoline was $2.019 and Diesel is $3.219 in my neck...Still a rip-off on #2 oil/Diesel....Should be less that Reg Gas. I voted against all incumbant candidates as they sat quiet as prices sky-rocketed and a less refined product began selling for more....it's the same as charging more for cord-wood than finished lumber. Just plain thievery and the folks in power say nothing...nothing at all....

Kevin,As I understand it, diesel and home heating oil start as a different grade of crude. The emerging(used to be third world) nations have a higher demand for this grade, thus the higher prices.headscratch.gif

I l locked in at $4.07 during the Summer with Petro. Now they want $600 to get out of my contract. I am running the numbers to see if it's worthwhile giving them the $600. The good thing is I invested in a very efficient fireplace insert that kicks 75,000 BTU per hour. So far my oil gage hasn't moved. The thing keeps my whole house at 72.

Could have been worse..Petro offered me a 'lock-in' at $5.00 per gallon.

So glad I didn't bite..

#2 heating Oil and Diesel are the same product, they dye it for off road use such as heating oil and boat/farm fuel.

 

I've had the war in the mid-east is to blame because the military no longer maintains gas burning vehicles - all diesel - thus the demand for the war is to blame - another guy on the radio blamed the Diesel fuel lobbyists -

 

To be honest, I don;t know what the actual cause was to begin with, but I can think...and what I see looks like gouging prices and the politicians are silent about it -

NO ONE is offering the American public the official explaination or reason - and in my opinion, tha smells like a bunch of rats getting fat on the gouging....Just my opinion - I'm probably fulla schit.
