Ha! What a coincidence. This morning I happened to drive by a gas station and noticed that the Diesel was $3.85, and the Regular Unleaded was $3.94. I actually did a double take, and made sure it wasn't "Premium."

Been a long time since the byproduct (diesel) was cheaper than the refined. But as mentioned, when we're talking $4 a gallon, not a lot to cheer about!

$4.39 here as well for the last 6 weeks, and above $4 for at least 3 months.

I don't care how high diesel gets, I"m not selling.!!! Stop eating first, then have to think about the amount of beer/month, get out the calculator and come up with some number.

I quit drinking almost 27 years ago and I drank alot. Soooo I figure I have saved enough money over the years to buy many gallons of diesel, no matter what the price. And, I can still eat.

$4.10 during my last fill. I would love to see diesel remain lower than gasoline. Used to be that way back in the old days....

Even though it depresses me...I still remember what the price of fuel was the day I bought my truck. Gas was $1.48 a gallon, diesel was $1.23.

I think I saw it for $4.10 up here in New England maybe 2 days ago. In Jersey, it was $3.99 as of last weekend.

Needless to say, for my commute, I use a Civic. The monthly fuel savings pays for my lease.
