Bought Diesel yesterday for 2.37 here in Des Moines Iowa.
It has been coming down steadily here. Locally I saw it for $2.26, which is about the same as mid-grade gas. This is the first I have seen it for less than premium gas in a long long time.
Just Back from R/T NY-NC, NY-2.75 NJ-2.35 DE-2.49 MD 2.39 VA 2.32
NC-2.39
Back up to around 2.55 now. Gas is around 2.25-2.30.
You all are lucky. 2.39 for gas and 2.69 for diesel (and that is the BEST price I've found on Diesel, some stations are as high as 2.89)
Why are prices rising now?:confused: This isn't the start of the summer driving season and spring is right around the corner. It was 84 flipping degrees here today...
The price of Diesel has been on a steep rise in the Los Angeles area for no apparent reason, 2 weeks ago, it could be found for a relative steal of 2.55 (87 octane was 2.28) and Today, I couldn't find less than 2.87 (87 octane was 2.65).
I really really really, need to get back on track and finish my BioDiesel processor, i've got a 300gallon IBC full of Veggie Oil, and haven't finished the processor yet :-P....
In Friday NYTs Business section <http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/16/business/16opec.html?_r=1&oref=slogin> Jad Mouawad reported that OPEC seems to be content with the level of crude pricing at about $60/barrel... there is no plan to increase shipments , as of now. Last year OPEC twice ratcheted down production to avoid having market prices dip beneath $50/barrel.
Closer to home ABC news reported that a late-winter surge in demand led up to the current refinery downtime for the seasonal re-configuration to maximize gasoline output for the comming summer driving campaign.
I note that fuel prices plateau when the Persian Gulf is tense.
Diesel around San Diego has been about $2.95 - 3.00 and regular is now above that by $.10 or so. The first time in years that I've seen this type of price advantage.
$2.78 on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington, today. Cheaper than gas. Regular starts at $2.89, Premium at $3.09. Lots of fluctuation these last few months.
Here in Nova Scotia, Diesel is about 10 cent a liter cheaper than gas, but still waay to expensive for my liking. :mad:
Diesel 104.7
Regular 114.7
Just put 34 gallons in my aux tank yesterday. It's creeped up to $2.78/gal here in SE Idaho. Regular gas is still trailing diesel here, $2.45/gal.
2.78 for Diesel in Los Angeles, and 3.10 for RUG :-PQuote:

Lately Gas has been at least 30 cents cheaper than Diesel....Its got me thinking real hard about getting a gas powered truck and unloading the PSD.....Diesel went up again today and is now $3 a gallon.

Don't know how long it'll last, but as of yesterday, #2 ULSD was 10 cents a gallon LESS expensive than regular gas.... ;)

Diesel here in Missouri is now 30 cents a gallon cheaper than gas. I never thought I'd see this again. There must be a little more Diesel in each barrel of crude with the new gas formula. Diesel $2.599 and Gas $2.899
Diesel was down 8 cents from yesterday - 2.77 Sunday to 2.69 today. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled into the station this morning. Makes me even happier that we all napped yesterday afternoon so I didn't get a chance to fill up for the week. Regular unleaded at that same station is 3.03.
I filled up over the weekend in NW Georgia on I75 for $2.539.

Seems a little odd that we're happy with $2.53/gal diesel fuel....
Here's a pic from the good ol days.... way back in the late 90's.... :(

I need someone from California or New York City to chime in and make me feel better.:o
The best going rate is around $2.99 for Diesel with regular gas about the same. The other day, while not in my diesel truck, I saw a station with $2.89...:mad:
At least it is on par with RUG unlike a few months ago when diesel was as expenisve if not more than SUPER... I believe it is some wierd cycle called CEO pay bonus that drives the price of fuel, I mean, refining capacity and supply. Now that winter is over there is not as high a demand for home heating oil, which allows the price of diesel to simmer down a little...
