holy shit diesel prices - stan - 04-06-2011
$4.57 when i was out tonight. back in 08-ish, diesel was 1.99 and cheaper than even 87 octane gas, now its 20 cents more expensive than 91 octane.

my 190d has been getting 36mpg now that the engine broke in and the trans finally works. (not to rub it in)
But I will be biking once my wagon is back on the road. I am not paying that and I am not using WVO... fukk it.

Yeahhhh my gti technically gets 34-36 on the freeway but all my driving is short trips around town so I get like 20 avg on a tank.
I know the 240d should get good mileage but with diesel prices this high its still cheaper to drive my gasser unless I use wvo

And to think it costs them LESS to make diesel, as it's a byproduct of gasoline manufacturing...
At least it used to cost less back in the 90's, not sure about today with the ULSD stuff.
In the end it's just greed.

$1.8 for the litre here (that's $6.8 for the gallon).
RE: holy shit diesel prices - stan - 04-06-2011
yes but do you have suburbs and have to drive long distances to get to anything?

Not me, but the highway into Zagreb is clogged in the morning, it's also clogged on the way out of Zagreb in the evening.
I also know people that do 40k+ miles per year. Don't know how much that is by USA standards. Also the living standard here is lower, considerably. But we're getting way off topic now.

40k Is a fuckload! Well to me. I'd only do about half of that, and that is a lot. I think diesel here is like 4.30 now
