The article states that the new diesel fuel will start flowing through pipelines June 1. My local gas station just increased their diesel from $2.94 to $3.19 overnight. I asked what the reason for the jump was. The owner stated that about $.05 was due to N. Korea and its instability and the other $.20 was due to the new ULSD diesel fuel. We all knew it would be more expensive, now we know how much.

As far as I'm concerned, that $.05 can be jammed where the sun don't shine. If I built a missile and "threatened" to launch it, would that make gas jump .05-.10 a gallon? Come on folks...

Anyways..... When do all the gas stations have to have ULSD?
