Diesel price

[bucket]

Looking at another site the price down south could be 2.02 per us gallon....

That equates and follow the math....2.02 ÷ 3.78 ÷ .79 = 67 cents a liter CDN......


I just fill the slip tank because I need it but what are our prices....close to a buck I think....that's quite an input difference to compete with....

Tractor burning 25 gallons an hour or 95 liters an hour with a 35 cent a liter spread ....

It is amazing now that there is the first new refinery in Canuckistan in thirty years going online that the diesel price goes up not down. Shows how the market here is completely broken as the players collude all the time. Some of the pressure is due to the cold weather and heating oil demand and should fade next week. But the spread between US prices and Canadian prices just got bigger again as well.

Filled up with dyed winter a week ago - was quoted $1.03. But he dropped it to under a buck cuz I own the tank.

What's happening on Jan. !? is there another hike coming to the carbon tax?

Goes from $20 to $30 on January 1st. Next increase after that is in 2021.

Between it, the minimum wage hike, NAFTA elimination and increases in Hydro, that should pretty well kill business in Ontario for good.

Under $1 colored must be nice. $1.219 here. Was $1.03 majority of summer.

Federated Coop was charging about 92-93 cents two weeks ago.

Oil has now crept over $60/barrel again
CDN $ increased to 79 from 77
Will have to check what the change is....likely won’t order for a while.

Last year it was as low as 50 in January and as high as 99 a month ago. Maybe near the high again?

90.9 cents dyed diesel on Nov 20th. Dated info.

Just curious what you mean by "own the tank"? Does the fuel dealer give tanks to some for "free" but magically they get the privilege of a different price for this? Around here everyone owns their tanks.

Around here a lot of the fuel suppliers will put a tank(s) in the customer's yard, no charge. But then they also get all the business.

Had a scrap over fuel price with a supplier quite a few years ago so I bought my own diesel tank and told him to pick his up. It's paid itself back many times over.

I've found that shopping around pays pretty darn good.

A friend got some delivered last week at $1.08 from the coop and this is west of Edmonton. Our last stuff was for $0.89 in November. Should go check the tank since it could be getting down there. Cows like to eat everyday especially in this weather 😉

$1.08 must be clear fuel.

I see.
CPS wanted us to do that with fert bins too. I'm married to my wife and that's enough for me........ ain't hitching up with no supplier for five years or anything like that.

[farmaholic]

Is your commitment to the fert dealer only as long as there's money owing on the bin? If it's a real cheap bin sign up and then pay it off in the first or second year then make him earn your business after that. I guess this argument goes for propane tanks, heating fuel tanks (according to burnt) and anhydrous tanks....never good to be locked in with one supplier.

[burnt]

Does anyone own their propane tanks? I've wondered if one could own them because it would sure make one heck of a difference in price come drying season. Or home heating, for that matter.

I have found there is usually a minimum 4 cent spread on diesel and sometimes as much as 8 cents. Says something about their margins. I use only a fraction of what we did in years past anymore, but it's still worthwhile.

The regs are starting to get tighter around this stuff though. It will only be a matter of time before you won't be able to buy fuel without having everything inspected. It's already that way here with heating oil. Then they gotchca.

ULC (Underwriters Laboratories of Canada) approved tanks will probably be the starting point. Then possible scheduled inspections?
