Use the internet, and search for cheap fuel prices in your area.....

I can't explain it - and frankly I'm thankful for the situation.
Over the last 3 weeks I've been able to find Diesel for
$3.999 in both Florida and NC.

In NC, Lowes Food Stores were $3.999, you could save another
0.05 if you had their discount card too.

In FL, Shell is selling Diesel for $3.999 (and has been for 3 weeks now).
Not sure what this is about, but I sure wish I could buy a tanker full!

Here is the sign from this AM showing how close the prices are for
Diesel & 87 octane gas.

That's interesting, when I went to Disney last week, prices were all over the board, first service plaza I passed said 4.23, the next said 4.12 then I was seeing anywhere from 4.08 - 4.23 while driving around Orlando. The price per Barrel just went down. Part of the reason I put a 100 gal transfer tank in my bed, this fuel prices will never be stable with this president

The area around Disney is typically much higher since the tourists
tend to buy local when they are in town. Likewise the stations
right off the interstates are typically higher than the stations
on local streets (this seems true nearly everywhere I've ever been).

Many Shells are all the same price for Diesel (3.999).
Most stations are between 4.09 and 4.29 around town mostly
in the 4.15-4.19 area.

Ironically, I start a new job next week that is only 7 miles from
home. A tank would last me 2-3 months now if I didn't have family
to visit all the time.

87 octane was 3.89 and diesel was 3.99 at the closest station to me this morning, but diesel prices seem to lag behind at that store. Most places around me diesel is 4.09-4.19.

But in general it's tightening back up, in 2008 the split was over 75 cents where I was.

Misky,

It is only that one Shell (and Texaco) in North Orlando at 3.999. I pass 5 different Shell's on my way to Wildwood every morning and the Shells range from 4.15-4.29. Been pretty average for all Diesel except for the two on Forest City Road.

Wow,

Shell and Chevron out in So cal are up around $4.69 for diesel. At our Indian reservation station, they have for 4.27 with regular 87 being at 4.23.

First time in 5-7 years I've seen diesel almost cheaper than regular gas.

In the S. Ca. area, premium and diesel are playing tag with each other.
