Im in phoenix, az and diesel is 4.89/gal here. it was 4.65 yesterday. i just went out and bought a 4cly that gets 30+mpg. Now my 2 babys are parked. Its unfortunite, but i cant afford the diesel in my truck or the gas in my hot rod mustang. I wish they made a diesel motorcycle because i would more then deff.. by one.

Update: Ok just bought some non-highway diesel for the JD. Paid $3.990 in Wake Forest, NC. With a $ .809 cost difference it's very tempting but, not worth the potential fine as the DMV around here has been very aggressive on checking weighted tags so, I'd expect if they see a farm tag they'll consider sticking the tank.. Just my $ .02....

Yeah so I saw diesel at $4.95 today. I feel for all those people that own their own big rigs. I know quite a few. Luckily for me I haven't had to pump diesel in a few weeks, I still have a full tank in the F250. What's it going to get to before they do something about it. Too bad we can't just stop buying fuel.
