Tonight Diesel was really expensive

[04Chevy2500HD]

Tonight I pull up to the station to pay 2.15 a gallon for diesel. Waiting in line when the person in front of me puts it in reverse and closes the five foot gap between me and him and backs into my front fender.

That's awful! Hopefully you can get it fixed quick.

That looks terrible...hope that fella looked as bad as the truck when you got done with him...hope he had insurance!

That sucks and is one of those things that pisses me off. A lot of gas stations kind of have seams in the concrete where each car should be at each pump. Even so, so many of these idiots have to creep up and take every inch you've left. Um, that hose stretches folks.

Shoulda gone where I go --- Diesel is selling for $1.729 at the Mobil station in Cotton, MN.

Wait until winter when demand for heating oil increases and Diesel fuel exceeds gasoline prices again.

I've never seen diesel more expensive than regular unleaded, and I live in Minnesota. Usually it's about 25-cents cheaper in summer and around a dime cheaper in winter.

Sorry to see your truck get smacked like that. Hope this guy likes high insurance premiums cuz that was pretty darn dumb. And if there's 5 feet b/t him and you, he's got some slow reaction time and a heavy foot to boot.

My last trip to the pump was sorta interesting, but not like yours:

Some guy and his son are doing something to their car off to the side of the pumps- guy keeps getting in the way as I'm trying to pull in. It it wasn't illegal and resulted in massive fines, jail time and lawsuits, I'd hit him for being stupid. Finally get the truck in place, getting it filled and I see what these two are up to - they're spraying a Nissan Altima from front to back with WD-40!! Why?! Can someone explain that? Whole car dripped it and the air reaked of it as well.

Maybe they had a run-in with a freshly oiled/tarred road? not sure.

 

Haven't seen gasoline cheaper than diesel in a long time, if ever.

Yeah having some problems with the guy calling his insurance company and explaining his side of the story.

 

Got an estimate for the repairs looking at 2800 bucks in damage. The problem is I am supposed to leave in a little under 3 weeks for vacation and I have to have the truck fixed by then.

 

I just hate that I am having to waste all of my time making all these phone calls and taking time off work to get estimates etc. Is it very difficult getting compensated for stuff like that?

[snoman]

Isn't that just incredable for so little damage? And we wonder why insurance rates are skyrocketing? Somebody is making out like bandits!

[Machine]

Still $1.68 in my area. Regular gas is $1.98

Submit it to your insurance company, DO NOT let them force you to pay your deductible, then let them fight the other guy's insurance company for it. That's what you pay them for. You were not at fault in this accident, let your insurance company fight your battle, all you should have to worry about is where you're taking your truck for repairs and when is it going.

[04Chevy2500HD]

Yeah going to give the guy until noon tomorrow to call his insurance company. Then I will quit working with his insurance company and just turn it over to mine. My agent advised (who I do trust. I have been with him for 6 years and my parents have been with him 15+ years) advised me to try to work things out with his insurance company but if they give me any flack to let him know.
