Hold on to Your Wallets: Oil Heads Toward $100 and Diesel Will Feel It

Crude approaches $100 per barrel amidst global uncertainty. What does this mean for pump prices?

Thought we were going to get a break on diesel prices this spring? Think again. Crude oil prices are flirting heavily with the $100 per barrel mark, driven by ceasefire skepticism and ongoing international tensions. U.S. crude jumped to $99.44, while Brent crude hit $98.70.

For those of us on the road, this translates directly at the pump. When crude goes up, refiners adjust prices almost immediately. If you're an owner-operator, now more than ever you need to maximize your fuel efficiency.

A great way to save valuable gallons during downtime is by using an APU from Go Green APU. Also, don't forget that rolling resistance costs you money; bring your truck to The Truck Savers, run it through our free road simulator inspection, and check it on our alignment computer to ensure your alignment is spot on and you're not burning extra diesel.
