Last I checked around here it was $3.09/gal. Very nice ride Corey. Don't have any good pics of my truck, but its a 02 F250 Crewcab SB, 4x4. I love it, no cats and muffler delete. Sounds great and still has a stock look.

well mine looks like Brians 01 but blue with a stack on the pass side outside the bed .I get between 14-17 pulling my lil kitties around like nothing , even though it has the auto trans ( works OK IF you keep up with it ) and no chip I don't believe in them . I know what Mike means , we got a couple rams around here that look like old Macks pulling away from a red light . Black smoke =unburnt fuel . cool , but a waist . We usually use the vw tdi to travel unless my back and legs bother me

was my daily driver until it blew rear engine seal AGAIN!... i loved it being diesel. 30-40 to fill it and it lasted nearly a month! 25mpg min highway and 45-50mpg city.
And yes, it is Right hand drive with a 5-seed on the steering column!

This is my 90 E-350 thats being made into a camper. has the 7.3L in it with an overdrive automatic transmission. on trip home from Prince George, BC it averaged 27mpg over 1000 miles.

And the truck i miss the most... 1999 F-250 SD with a 7.3L TURBO. truck was very fun to drive and LOADED. I traded it for the mini truck though... mileage wasnt that great but not terrible for a super duty. think it was around 15. had 407,000+ kilometers on it when i traded it off to.

Nothing much to complain about, did fuel up my Colorado (gas) today almost $100!

Diesel is today 189cents/L equal to 7,15$/gallon, and Sweden is not highest in Europe.

I would be very happy to pay only 3.50!!

You've got it cheap... its £1.25 a litre here in the UK, equivalent to $8.78 a gallon, plus its due to go up again due to our VAT rate increasing from 17.5% to 20%...

Re: Diesel prices
 
but it should be cheap here we pump it out of the ground and refine it
they push it though a pipe to truck stop 1/2 mile away and it is still 3.50 + a gallon
same price as the stuff they truck 500 miles
does not make any sense

Re: Diesel prices
 
Very true... but things aren't always cheaper at source, which is odd in itself?

Are the prices in the US a direct result of the oil per barrel price rising, or tax? In the UK its just been taxed and then two days later, VAT added to it. Our prices then fluctuate a penny or two up, rarely down according to the price per barrel.

The rate in Norway is between USD 7.50 and 8. I'm happy to see we're not the most expensive country in Europe anymore :)

$3.35-$3.49 here in MN. Cost about 300.00 +/= a day to run the big truck if I run hard. They say it could be $4.00+ buy the end of the year. Hope the fuel surcharge goes up this year to help compensate.:confused:

Just to make you guys feel better, diesel costs $7.66 per U.S. gallon where I live.
