If you're talking about diesel fuel here, it's around $2.25 dollars per gallon.

The prices are close to criminal here state side. Truckers are going broke right and left and this lack of control of the fuel industry pricing is so
out of hand. I have no solutions that don't seem to just put more hands in the already broken pot. I guess nothing will happen until the goods we
depend on will no longer be affordable for anyone.
As posted before, most if not all of the fuel in BCN is refined in California or the western states. The prices in Baja reflect the absence of all
the taxation that amounts to little or nothing done on our behalf by the government agencies who administer it.
Heck, I'm glad I'm an offroader, some of the streets in our hood are just about ready for the transfer case to get locked in to get over them

Current diesel prices are $2.01/gallon in all of Baja.
I figured that my F350 got 29 mpg in Baja compared at US prices !!

Why is diesel oil more expensive than automotive gasoline? Isn't making diesel fuel a less expensive procedure than refining gasoline? OR, is it the
new Ultra Low Sulfur formula demanded by politicians & enviros that has raised the price?
America's products are transported via diesel and this price is going to trickle all over us consumers!

It has nothing to do with the cost of production, rather the limited refining ability, which is shared between gas and diesel, is insufficient. When
more gas is produced, the price of diesel goes up. Supply vs. Demand at work.

Yeah, but then the Enron of the refiners here in the western states shipped hundreds of thousands of gallons of diesel and gasoline out of here to
places like Central America a few months back because the prices were threatening to go under 3 bucks a gallon because there was an OVER SUPPLY! Then
back up came the prices. They could then say to the vendors, well there is only so much to go around, if you want to keep your stations open this is
how much it will cost.

There is Nomad who has a gas station in Yuma (?) who could really be helpful in this, as well. I hope he or any other gas station operators or oil
company personal can give us their side.
You may be mad at them, but they do all the work getting that oil out of the ground and make it so we can use it. I hear the oil companies make less
than 10% profit... while the governemnt makes a whole lot more on every gallon (via taxes)... and they only make getting the oil harder and harder to
get. Heck, we can't get all that is waiting for us under our own land, so we need to buy it from other countries...
Lower prices? It is up to the government to lower the taxes added to the sale of fuel and to open up the wilderness and oceans where many, many years
of oil reserves await. If oil companies could keep more than the pennies per gallon they get now, maybe they wouldn't be forced to move reserves
around to get a better price? They are public owned corporations and must satisfy their stockholders, afterall.

Can we agree that it's an all-around f-up?
1. The oil companies are trying to maximize profits. Can't blame them too much, that's what they're in business to do, but they often use
less-than-fair-market practices. 
2. The legislators do not want to issue permits for new refineries, which is fine by the oil companies.
3. The citizens wail against new refineries anywhere near their neighborhoods - much easier to blame the legislators and the oil companies.
4. The federal government has followed a policy that has caused the value of the dollar to plummet - thus making it easier for oil prices to climb and
stay high.

Don't you guys feel too bad about our prices.
Just got through talking to a cousin in The Hague, Holland, and the price of a gallon of regular gas is now at $ 8.80.
Yes folks that's the price in dollars. Ouch !!!!

Roberto,
Everyone of your points is spot on. Particulary #4, and until interest rates rise the dollar will continue to fall and the price of oil will rise.
On a positive note, visit Baja more often and fill up your tanks down there.

Sorry, Bob - all those points are documentable. You make, for the most part, eminently reasonable points. On this, and open borders .... I'll just be
polite and leave it at that.

That might be because the dollar is almost worthless.
