First Fert, now Fuel

[foragefarmer]

Called dealer for quotes on farm diesel up .08/litre and gas up .07/litre.

Was thinking of topping up, but kept putting it off the last couple of days.

Sleeping at the wheel and that's what you get.


Maybe anybody else thinking of ordering fuel, do now as the new prices in your area may not have taken effect yet.

Just giving the heads up.

Oil flirting with $80.00, sit down and hang on, this ride is going to get wild!!!!

The screws are tightening down from all directions
Not surprising, this has been predicted over a year ago .

Guess we haven’t priced any for awhile, was surprised its over a dollar now. Not like I’m buying any anyways as an empty tank is far more of a deterrent than a camera or guard dog..….

You mean I might get some of the money I lost on Husky. Cenovus shares climbing.

Also called today and was told the same thing. They still have heavy fuel so thinking I will fill and take a chance. Lots of talk of oil going over 100 this winter so would be surprised if its cheaper in the spring but who knows.
I could have called a week ago but I did the same thing as you. All these endless sunny warm days have make me way to relaxed!

Guess I wont wait for spring oil order "specials".

The diesel tank was almost empty and the fall work not done so I filled up end of last week for .98 +HST for dyed summer fuel.

Gas would have been $1.36 all taxes in so left it unfilled.

The retailer I use tells me every fall not to fill up until it's really cold, and then again late winter. He says they blend too much biodiesel in summer diesel these days without enough lube and doesn't last as long. Anyone have any thoughts on that?

Rising input prices are going to derail whatever is left of this so-called economic recovery.

This will wring the margins right out of many businesses. I don't believe this will be a permanent situation given the long term falling interest rate trend, but it will last long enough to do tremendous damage.
