Diagnoses is fried differential. One hour after I pulled off the road, it was

Opened the fill plug, could not feel any oil. Put in about a quart of gear

Our prices are headed that way. last fueling was 4.28/gal. California and WA
distillers have had technical issues which reduced supply. Tropical storms
will reduce raw oil flow into the south. Alaska is switching over to shale
from the easy to get crude which has been headed to asia anyway.

He's talking about the price per liter. That's about $0.1
Agreed. It is not uncommon at all to buy diesel in the morning and come
back later in the day to find the price 20 cents higher, or even lower
sometimes. $.05 we don't even notice anymore.

What is happening where you are?
We got a $0.05 per liter jump this morning.
That is the first change since about May of this year.
That makes it about $4.80 per US Gallon or $5.72 per Imp Gallon.
