I will not complain at this time about the price of diesel.....in 2008 I paid $4.75 a gallon. That year my fuel bill was almost $ 15,000 .....I'am paying about 3.85 for a gallon in my area.....as for the Energy Sec......at this time he does not own a car at this time......so he could care less about the price of fuel. Let us all hope that with this being a election year.....we will see a change...

Since the recent run up in gas price, I've seen diesel at most places around here is actually less than premium gas. Haven't seen that in a long time.
Remember the good old days when diesel was significantly cheaper than regular gas?

I remember, and it didn't go up every winter because of fuel oil demand for heating either.

I'm not quite that old though.....

I have not done this for awhile ...
1.37900 (Canadian dollars per litre) = 5.2611127 U.S. dollars per US gallon.
That's what I paid tonight in Chilliwack BC (cheaper then the Greater Vancouver Area!)
Makes me really glad the last time I had wage negotiations, I negotiated a small raise and all my fuel paid by the company. It's like whenever fuel prices go up ... I get a raise.

I about had a stroke when I filled our boat with almost 50 gallons of gas and it was something like 64 cents a gallon. When diesel hit $1.00, I considered selling my Pete and getting out of the trucking business. Held on for a few more years though.
I just filled both my pickups last week, close to 70 gallons, it was not cheap!

I saw as high as 4.09 here in Biloxi. I drove 550 miles to get here but set my cruise at 65 instead of my normal 72. I averaged 12.7 mpg pulling a tall 18' enclosed trailer, which is an improvement of almost 2 mpg. I hate slowing down but it looks like I will have to this summer.

In my neck of the woods diesel is $3.83 to $3.99, the spread between diesel and gasoline has narrowed to $.20 - $.30 per gallon.
A few months ago the spread was $.70 per gallon. I guess this means that gasoline is taking a bigger hit right now - in my area.
