Lucrative enough that an organized "gang" has found a way to steal diesel from individual station's ground tanks at night. Which means they are turning around and selling it somewhere. Sounds like something out of the Sopranos. $3.99 to $4.15 here. Lucrative enough that an organized “gang” has found a way to steal diesel from individual station’s ground tanks at night.

Our diesel got crazy around here lately, I'm paying $4.49. Still ahead of the game at 40-odd mpg, but damn, that's a buck more than gas! Stan, you’re diesel-powered too?

Hell I'll burn half that down the road to get any beer. It is a short-term bullshit idea. But then, the fact that soccer moms are still riding around in Suburbans is bullshit too. Supply and demand is what it's all about, and it's only going to GET WORSE until Americans decide to give up huge gas-guzzing SUVs.

Craft beer does cost more. However there is a Gold metal winner that is below the price of gas: PBR in a 15.5 gallon keg. $49.99 for a 15.5 gal keg is only $3.22 per gallon. http://www.savemorbeer.com/products_beer_kegs.htm Fortunately, not all beer is created equal.
