OK, so I'm on my way to Richmond VA yesterday in the 2004 F350 to pick up a rebuilt engine for the wife's 98 Durango. I had 1/2 a tank and figured I'd fill up in Richmond for the trip home. On the way out of town, though, I notice that the last station before the on-ramp (A BP station, to be exact) has Diesel going for 1.89 a gallon. After I filled up, I had to ask the guy why it was so much cheaper than elsewhere in town - like 20c per gallon cheaper. He said the real question was why is it so much more expensive at all the other stations.

 

Diesel is $2.59 a gallon here in Sierra Nevada Calif. If I had the $4, 000 I'd buy the bio diesel maker!

 

Just travelled from Arizona to Florida.

Scottsdale, AZ = $2.19
Eloy, AZ = $1.92
Texas = $1.87 one time all others it was $2.05 - $2.20
Alabama, Miss. & Florida $2.20-$2.39

There's no method to this madness. It's totally unheard of for AZ to be the second least expensive.

 

what is the difference between the 45 octane and the 40 ontane diesel?

 

its "cetane" not octane . and the difference really isnt much unless u have a built diesel. the only difference i see is 40 doesnt foam as much so i can actually fill up my truck, and the 45 may see a very small amount better mpg, but thats very debatable

oh, and the liquid gold is still 2.20 and up here in the great state of PA.

 

Back down to 2.189 here in North County San Diego.

 

We are at 1.99 hope it keeps plummeting...if you can call two cents a plummet
Probably not even a slide to consumer confidence…

 

I saw a station in here in Oregon that was 2.47 the other day. YIKES!

 

Here in CT it is about 2.40 a gallon- which is about 40 cents more than regular gas up here. Diesel generally has been 20 cents cheper than regular gas- why is it this expensive?

 

I thought diesel was a biproduct of gasoline???? Am I wrong? Supply in demand I suppose. All of us newbies to the diesel engine. It's become a popular power plant

 

Still hovering around $2.18 here in Arkansas.... *sigh* I remember complaining to myself when it hit $1.36 this time last year. I'd kill for that now!

 

Yes it is...some call it the throw away "stuff"

 

$2.15 here in NH, but I had read here that it was a seasonal thing too. cold weather influenced the cost, another supply and demand angle. hope there is some truth to that, looking forward to spring already.

a side note.... this was one of the angles I used on my wife, but the fuel is cheaper hunny, alright already buy the truck.... diesel has been higher than premium ever since.... ask me how things are at my house

 

There currently is a VERY LOW inventory of disillate fuels (such as Diesel and home heating oil) here in the USA. That is the primary reason why prices are so high right now.

 

awsome.... i do retain what i read
