Current cheapest place in Colorado Springs is $3.25. Yesterday the cheapest was #3.51 and I thought that was good. The good news is that it seems to be dropping in price pretty quick. Use gasbuddy.com to find the cheapest in your area. I used it all the time and it's never been inaccurate.
Gas buddy has an app for your smartphone, if you have one. I use it constantly. Around me, Mississippi and South Carolina are the cheapest states to buy fuel. Florida and Georgia are the worst.
And since a barrel of oil only makes so much gas and so much diesel, additional demand for home heating oil (i.e., diesel) this time of year leads to extra gasoline driving down the price of gas and leaving the price of diesel relatively consistent
Seems to be pretty good pricing in other areas. Prices are dropping around here steadily. As long as the rack price keeps dropping I'll keep lowering my price. The pattern I noticed though in the past is that when prices get close to being around $3 it starts going up again. Hopefully that won't be the case though.
$4.10 here in wonderful (not) southeastern Michigan. I keep hassling the attendant about it. I've been buying diesel there for several years so we get along great.....lets me fill up before I pay. Usually around $80 a visit.
Diesel is a product that can be (and is) exported so international demand is helping drive up diesel prices.
For some reason, gas is not as affected; I think I read that there is a shortage of diesel refining capacity globally which helps keep the price higher.
You know, if the price is this high with soft demand (the world economy), I'd hate to see it when (if?) things get humming again.
The economics and scheduling manager at the third largest refinery in the US (also happens to be a merchant refinery) told me that the global demand for diesel provides him the ability to ship much of the diesel that the refinery makes to Europe.
Europeans have a large percentage of their vehicles that run on diesel -- in turn the European refiners sell gasoline to the US distributors. I assume this coupled with heating oil, winter blend, etc.. make for a favorable situation for the seller/refiner.

After giving praise for gassbuddy.com for not being inaccurate, I went to the station that was supposed to be $3.25 and....they don't even sell diesel! First time i've seen this happen but with the ability of anyone updating the prices on the website....i'm sure it happens now and then. With that being said, $3.45 seems to be the cheapest diesel in town. Regular gas down to $2.89.
Remember, that is per litre in Canada so don't know what that is in U.S. gallons. Your gallons are even different than our gallons. Will have to see if I can figure that one out.
