It was $3.89 the other day here but every yahoo with a rice burner was parked at the diesel pumps getting saki. After cruising three stations like that, i finally settled for one that had an open diesel pump and $4.09 a gallon.

I hate it when that happens! My wife and I both drive diesels and complain about that all the time. Never heard it called "getting saki" but that's HILARIOUS!!!

The couple of times I drove to my friend's cottage near Wheatley, ON, I really appreciated the 56 gallon tank I have. No need to fill up in Canada.

I seem to remember that happening to me in Indiana. I pulled to where the semi's fill up and I needed to enter a DOT number to turn the pump on so I went in and the lady started the pump for me and then the price was with tax. They must have companies with DOT numbers pay taxes later.

You are correct designated trucks in Indiana are exempt from paying fuel taxes and the stations are allowed to advertise that price as long as displayed in "easily read lettering" . To me it is misleading to some degree. I realize they are primarily targeting commercial trucks with their advertising but if someone is not familiar with Indiana it can be irritating or disappointing if you believe getting fuel at a good price. I believe the tax is around 30 cents per gallon if my memory is right.
VI. ADVERTISED OR CURB PRICE OF GASOLINE AND SPECIAL FUEL
The retail merchant may not advertise a price that is different from the pump price required to be displayed on the metered pump.
If a retail merchant advertises special fuel at a price that does not include any gross retail taxes that may be due on the sale of the special fuel, the retail merchant must display in easily read lettering, above or below the advertised price, the words “EXEMPT TRUCKS ONLY”.

Pittsburgh, PA is $3.69 for diesel and 2.95 for gas. We have a fuel perks program thru one of our grocery stores so I just filled up last night for a whole .69 cents a gallon. They limit the discount to 30 gallons. It is amazing how the state taxes make such a huge difference across state lines. Ohio diesel used to be as much as 70 cents cheaper but now Ohio diesel is 5 to 10 cents more expensive.

Nope no mistake. Off the interstate you can get it cheap. Sams in LC yesterday was $3.12 up cause of the holiday.

I think OPEC has decided we are finding to much energy (fracking) in the US and it makes them a little nervous. Cut the price and choke off the energy exploration IMHO.
