Fuel Prices

Went to town (Kingsville) this morning and saw diesel price was 2.82 and regular gas 2.94. I don't remember prices that well but I don't recall diesel less than gas for some time.

Hope it holds for my fishing trip up to Bull Shoals in Arkansas next week. Been some time since I was up that way.

Other places?

Oh man, don't torture me. That's about $1.05 a liter. Here we're paying $1.72.

Lucky us in Vancouver typically have the highest gas prices in NA. I tell myself that the scenery makes it worth it.

Just got back from Colorado and were paying around $3.50 for unleaded. To be fair it was in out of the way small places. Glad to be back in San Antonio...filled up today for $2.67.

I'm seeing $2.95 locally. On TDS Open Roads shows a station in Hendersonville NC $2.88. I left for a trip late October 2020 and diesel was $1.88 local.

Oh, it makes it worth it! Can't wait to explore our own "backyard" on Vancouver Island in our 17B. Won't need to travel far for scenery many would travel thousands of kilometres for.

We are currently touring Iceland ���� in a class B diesel Peugeot and the price for diesel and gas is within a penny of each other 320 isk/liter. Roughly $8.73/gal. Fortunately we are getting about 30 miles per gallon.

Lower gas prices are a mixed blessing. They have been gradually falling despite OPEC and OPEC+ cutting production. This is a powerful signal that indicates a global economic recession.

We rented an econobox there and it got even better mileage.

Europe has had what we call extremely high gas prices for many years. We just finished renting small cars in Norway, Faroe Islands and the Orkney Islands. Same high prices and same small cars. But the scenery made it more than worthwhile.

Just had to drive though the undersea tunnel linking the Faroe Islands. Cost about $35 but was one of those one time life experiences.
