I can't even believe this thread was drug back up?? I have no idea how much diesel is here, I burn about $1000 per month, the pickup, tractor, ATV,car,..whatever is low I fill it up,.......won't run with out it,....so I fill it up because I am to lazy to walk, pull a plow, or haul a load myself. I think it is around $4.00 per gallon, I only buy maybe 30 gallons of gasoline a month, chain saws, one ATV and lighting the dump and slash piles, everything else is diesel but I think it is around $3.70 per/Gal, do I like paying these steep prices?....NO but I also don't like paying $40 for a box of bullets, I don't like spending $3100 for a new rifle scope, I didn't like spending the $1200 for this laptop I am typing on and I don't like paying $200 p/ton for hay to feed my cattle,..but,....but
if I want to continue going forward and progressing in life I have no choice but to pay! Look at it another way, I am a Electrician at a ammunition plant I make going wages for that job,....not near the top paying job in the USA but a decent living, I can put 85.8 gallons of diesel in my tank on a days wages! My Grandad made top wage on a horse drawn thrashing machine as a sack sower/jigger,... this was 1931 and he made $1.00 per day, NOT $100.00 p/day,...$1.00 p/day!! he had a 1928 Plymouth sedan that got 20 something p/gal at best and the Gas cost $.28 p/gal so he could put 3.57 gallons of gas in his tank on a days wages so when did fuel really cost more, now? or in 1931?.... I guess these threads gives us something to bellyache about and if were here bellyaching we can't be burning expensive fuel!!
Bellyache on!!
