Diesel is > $5/gal in So Cal - Just accross border it's $1.80/gal - is it not obvious we're gettin screwed?

Question

There are no regulations against bringing diesel back to the US for pvt use either.... Plus its not the "ultra low sulfur" stuff that we get here...

Cross the border and load up - stick it to the man!

Answer 1

Thank You Mr. Bush.

Answer 2

Cross the border and load up only if you don't have a 2007 or newer car that will only take low sulfur diesel.

Yes we are getting ripped off. It's even worse in Canada, where gasoline is $5.50 and up per gallon and diesel is about fifty cents higher.

Answer 3

F**uck i know my mom dont even give  me money that much becuase she says she needs to save it for gas. this s.hit sucks!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

usa is not being screwed, it is capitalism, and the law of supply and demand at work.  people keep demanding oil and gasoline, and keep paying for it no matter the cost, so there is no incentive for the oil companies to lower the price, they are not a charity you know.

the mexican government is unfairly subsidizing the cost of gas.  perhaps if they would put more money into their social services and less into their gasoline, the people of mexico might have a better standard of living, health care, jobs, and so on, and quit immigrating to usa illegally.

with millions of mexicans immigrating to america, legally and illegally, it would seem that they think life is not good enough in mexico, even with 1.80/gal fuel.

who really has a better life, you, or the poor mexican families of tijuana or ciudad jaurez.

Answer 5

Customs will only let you bring 119 gallons at a time. Just use biodiesel dude.

Answer 6

Which border are you talking about?  

In Mexico, gas is sold by the liter, not the gallon.  1 gallon = 3.8 liters.
