The sad part is that diesel did not go down in price, gas just jumped way up.

Same here Jim. One station here in Mears was 4.17 for diesel, 4.18 gas. Then in Muskegon I just saw one that was the same but now its $4.00 for diesel and 4.18 for gas. SHOOT FUEL IS CHEAP NOW!! FILL EM ALL TO THE TOP!

Yeah...it was even up here...both at 4.18.....but I am liking the this trend(remember when diesel was half the price)....going to look at a VW TDI for the wife tomorrow....her little cavalier has 225k on it(120mile round trip for work)....Finally found a decent TDI for her to take for a drive.If it works out the MPG difference will be well worth it with the prices like this

WHAT IN THE WORLD!!! I though this hurricane was gonna affect fuel prices in the south the most!! Maybe they decided to give you guys a break with the weather and send us the high gas prices. I can do something about the fuel prices so I guess I can't complain.

So did any refinery,s or rigs get damaged during the hurricane? I can,t stand how the price goes up before the dam storm even hits I can understand if there is a pile of damage to these rigs and refineries but at least wait and asses damage and then raise the prices accordingly gee sh

for the last couple of weeks diesel has been cheeper than gas here in canuck land but not by much $1.29 ltr for fuel $1.44 ltr for gas
