Diesel @ $2.40 a gallon

[Skip]

Topped off the big girl today before cruising to DC tomorrow and was most pleased to discover diesel at my local SR dealer going for $2.40/ gallon. With the 25 cent per gallon price decrease for being a customer, that works out to $2.15 a gallon to feed the Cummins. Not too bad. Still aiming fo 150 hours before we winterize in a month...maybe we will get there.

Sounds like a bargain. I would think it would cost more up there as you are such a captive audience. Not too many fuel docks up that way right?

Skip, Good Price! Last time I went to "feed the big dogs" It was $2.32 up here in MICH. And to think I was happy to see that huh!

Skip thats a great price. Last x we filled up $5.05 in Chubb Cay on our way home :smt089 JC

There are actually several diesel pumps on the middle and northern Potomac, but the local SR dealer pumps a fair amount of diesel so with proper fuel system maintenance monthly Racor swaps have become a thing of the past.
Heading to Colonial Beach this weekend. One moth left until we winterize and I am going to enjoy every day.

I didn't notice the dates on the first few post and my jaw was dropping!

No silly....I was just going through the first few threads on this forum and saw "2.40/gal..." and thought it was interesting in light of several conversations here.

I could care less diesel vs. gas vs potato skins

What is diesel now a gallon? Geez, 2006 wasnt too long ago.

Oops! Sorry.
Thought it was <flame=on> time again.

Looks like a doubling of price in two years. Yes, were not at $4.80 yet, but it's not quite two years, either.

Best regards,

At the pump here in Bridgeport, $4.75... (not the marina, on road)

And leave the potato skins out of it! :grin:

No flame on Frank...just a little necroposting and a chance landing on a 2.40/gal thread.

Wow, doubled in less than 2 years.

We are heading up to DC for the weekend. Heading home on Sunday I will visit the same dealer's fuel dock. I am guessing low $4 range, minus the 25 cents per gallon for being an account holder, gets me to the $3.90 range. We are averaging 20-25 hours on the engines per month, so we are on pace to run about 160 hours this year. I have just amended the budget to account for the higher cost of fuel. I am hopeful diesel prices will come back down, but am not counting on that.

Did you say budget?
