U.S. Diesel & Gasoline Weekly Fuel Cost Update 01-27-2025
- Thread starter fantastic
- Start date
Still hasn't gone down enough to get me to keep this ridiculous fuel oil furnace ...
What would be your preferred alternative? Propane, Natural Gas, Heat Pump?
The EIA also puts out inflation adjusted price data for different energy source. Below I have included the charts for gasoline and diesel on an annual basis. Real, blue, is inflation adjusted and nominal, orange, is the price you see on the sign. Both gasoline and diesel don't appear to be out of line when compared to overall inflation; diesel is maybe a little bit higher, it isn't also way cleaner now. Gasoline is also cleaner now but not to the same extent as diesel is.
Natural gas.
I started looking into doing heat pump. I stopped calculating the cost once I passed $30,000
Yeah, heat pump only heating would be for the temperate climates or getting such a large system but that ends up costing a lot like you mentioned. NG seems to be good source for large amounts of heat. I use a 30k propane heater (500 gallon tank) & if it gets below say 20F I run my 12k btu heat pump for assistance. Not much heat out of the HP at that temp, nor economical but it does help which surprised me. Next one will be another 12k rated for -22F. I do have NG access to my house & it is better than Propane but that's what I use for now.$2.87 in Kansas City. Been using the QT app to get .25c off a gallon. Helps a lil bit in a 30 gallon tank
Didn't know the QT app is giving $0.25 off. I use the Phillips 66 for $0.15 off or gasbuddy. Is the QT free discount that you just have to set up through the app?
Somehow the pump price has been climbing for the past ~10 days 
Prices here went up $0.20 over two days but dropped right back down soon after.Somehow the pump price has been climbing for the past ~10 days
Have to use the app and link your bank account. Offer is only good through the end of this month. But has been going for the previous three months..
Awesome, I think there's one about 35 miles from me, in Sedalia area, that I pass once in a while. I'll keep that in mind & check for current promo's.
