Fuel Prices

Saturday when the US went to war with Iran, that day I went to Costco and filled up both tanks (OEM & LRA) @$3.46/gal. Today is @$4.39, so +93¢. I need to fill up again tomorrow. I like my LRA tank, when I find cheap gas, I fill up both tanks. Looks like Moab is $4.49, so similar to Colorado.

Normally everything on the 70 from Sevier to Grand Junction is some of the cheapest gas in the west.

There is a new Maverick in the Arizona strip between Nevada and Utah that I generally fill up at. Current diesel price is $5.08 a gallon ($1.89/l AUD)

My company trucks burn about 6000 gallons of diesel a month so that’s almost $12,000 extra expense. I have one supplier that burns almost 10,000 gallons a day.

$6.39 for 91 octane in San Francisco today. But that's only for people who don't leave the city. It's probably a dollar cheaper 10 miles and one bridge away. (But it's over $8 to cross the bridge on the way back.)

I work with a fleet that has over 7000 USG daily fuel burn, only a small fleet compared to some of the mining fleets in the region. They put all thier empty 80kL 6 may be 7 relocatable bulk tanks back into service and filled their fixed bulk tanks full. They had triple road trains 90kL each qued all day topping tanks within hours of the start of the conflict. On top of that a lot mines in the area also immediately topped off their bulk fuel tanks and transportable tanks. Travel the Peak Downs highway today and the number of fuel tankers doesn't appear any less even with diesel pushing $3+/L in the servos and town prices not much less.
The advantage the big miners have over every one else in Australia is direct contracts with fuel suppliers and decent tax breaks on the excise making the fuel cheaper.
When you see the number of triple roadtrains 90kL, Quads 150kL, B double and triples on the crappy 2 lane highways west of Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville the amount of diesel used in the region compared to the number people living in the area is staggering.
