The big man himself said we spent $18,000 December in off road. Ouch. 2-648s, 1-slasher and two saw heads. And here and there for extra work

I am burning 4-8 gallons in the machine per day and put about 200$ in my pick up per week

3.99 for clear in town, cheaper if you go towards civilization, or Down Below... Think dyed was 3.48 or some such, I don't pay much attention, it all needs to be payed for somehow, no sense in worrying about it.

$3.41 red fuel, $3.73 clear last night when I got my fuel for the week. That has gone up since a week ago when it was $3.37 / $3.67. Go 10 miles up the road and on road is $3.89. My fuel cost averages 10% of my gross income.

macpower · « **Reply #17 on:** February 22, 2014, 07:47:07 PM »

$3.999 off road and 4.299 taxed, locally. I think we get raped here. It's all super low sulfur and I think its a summer blend, the dang stuff gels at 20 degrees so I have to run an additive.

treechopper40 · « **Reply #18 on:** February 22, 2014, 07:50:44 PM »

I pay $4.66 a gallon for on road fuel and only use 15-20 gallons a week in the skidder and log loader so I can operate all week on less than a $100 in fuel

Dave Shepard · « **Reply #19 on:** February 22, 2014, 08:07:08 PM »

I saw $4.19 this week, down from $4.29. Off road delivered to the farm is up over $3.80 now, I think.
