Diesel is $1.32/L here, so that's $4.88/U.S Gallon.


Gas is 1.18/L so 4.36/U.S Gal.



Man, I should swap in that spare 300 straight 6 gasser in my van, replace the IDI until the diesel comes back down

Is already $4/gal at the cheaper stations here in the Seattle area, I fully expect it to hit $5/gal by Memorial Day.

Earlier tonight CBS National News on TV had a story about why heating oil was so darn expensive, even though it's been a mild winter and demand is down (got distracted by the kids so I didn't hear their explanation).

Diesel and home heating oil should NEVER cost less than unleaded gas, period!!! We're getting ripped off.

Its anywhere from $3.63-over$4.00...depends, I usually pay about $3.75-$3.83 at one place just cause I know the fuel is good. some of the other places that are cheaper had some junk diesel.
