North of $60, try north of $100! Filled up my pickup truck today along with two 5 gallon gas containers and it came to $158. Ouch! I still need to fill up two 5 gallon diesel containers for my tractor at $6.39 per gallon. Look no further than the price of diesel for the root cause of inflation, everything needs to be shipped with diesel burning engines, not to mention the fact that diesel powers almost all the farming equipment that produces our food. It makes no sense that diesel costs about $1.40 more per gallon than gas since diesel is much closer to raw crude and requires less refinement. The only reason I can come up with is taxes, which is a hidden tax on all American consumers, hurting the lowest income the hardest since we all have to eat.
