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.
well that didn't work

Last time I went through there the Res. wasn't much less than L'anse.  It used to be alot less.

$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.

$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.

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

Finally! I am the lucky one.  :D
I bought a tank Tuesday at $3.65 a gallon.
The high place here in town is $3.99 a gallon.
I guess New Mexico added some taxes on the off road, it's only about .13 a gallon cheaper than on road. It's not worth the paperwork they want to use it.

PA just added more taxes to our fuel, but they claim its not a tax, its a user surcharge, same darn thing with a different label. On road in running 4.45 - 4.50, off road was down around 3.85-3.90 but today when I stopped it was up to 4.06. Thankfully I am close to home, and with it warming up a bit I shut the machine down and cut. I pulled 5 load last week on 30 gallons of fuel, so no complaints. That will change as things break up, working in the mud seems to really push the machine. That 16 inches of snow we had on the ground packed down to a good 5-6 inches of slick icy stuff on my trails and the wood slides like butter.
It ain't easy...

I seen it today 4.62.9 this is bogus  to bad we all could not shut down for 2-3 days I think that would change thins a bit :)

Nope that is the price here in Ontonagon. I'm sure The Pines on the res is cheaper yet.
