I've noticed diesel creeping up recently. Above regular and at a couple of stations above premium!

Thumbs down Up Up and Away (outa sight!)

Paid $2.319 at one of Al Sal's many stations today, and I felt lucky!

Many stations are much higher, as high as $2.659.

Felt good at last because the price of diesel fuel is now lower than regular gasoline.

The grades of gasoline were $2.339, $2.419 and $2.499

Prices jump as quickly as they could raise 'em as the price of a barrel hit $54.

At least diesel is back now below regular gasoline!

I'm pretty sure the price of diesel is being affected by heating oil reserves,

Any word on your car yet? You've been really quiet on the forum! Mine's been "shipped" for five weeks now. I'm getting antsy.

Not much has been happening on this forum lately!

Still waiting...have had a lot to do. Was told by the dealer the car is expected in Baltimore on the 14th. Don't know of the phone will be installed there, however the VPC should have to deal with the broken seats (faxed them the print out from the Garmish-Partenkirchen MB center) and the flat tire.

So I expect the car at the end of the month. I have a few others to keep me busy.

Allways wondered about the dash display you have pictured above (0:24h)
Does that mean "zero hours and 24 minutes", or does that mean "zero point 24 hours"? (0.24hundreths of an hour = 14.4 minutes).

The format displayed is not commonly used here in the US & is confusing to me.

It's zero hours and 24 minutes, how would you display it?
