I was in Meridian today and the price was the same at the truck stops. Still more expensive around Jackson, but not much.

$3.30 South of Houston in League City, TX.

This is the first time that I can remember that diesel is less than gasoline since either late 2010 or early/mid 2011, at least around here. The price differential and increased MPG's (coming from a F-150 5,4L) were part of the reason that I could justify upgrading to the diesel. Hope it stays this way.

Im sure others on here remember even cheaper days but I remember as a 16 yr old who just got his license when diesel was .85 cents (maybe a little less)a gl and regular was .95 cents a gl. I remember going in with a five dollar bill and getting a half tank on my 83 honda accorde. Lol.26 yrs ago.Then again the cost of a new home was 1/3 of what it is today and so was my paycheck.Its all relative I guess in the end.

3.43 yesterday, Rt 1 in Edison.
Also saw 4.39 up in the Cape Cod area last week.

And that is why I have a titan 65 and bed mount 45 fuel tank.

I know really...Sub $1/gal fuel was great while it lasted...

$4.07 to $4.20/gal here in Anchorage, Alaska. In the "Valley" it was $4.65- not including any discounts. Gotta do the shopping at Carrs/Fred Meyers and put the points on their gas rewards cards. Some people get up to $1/gal off that way. Shell even without any purchases their reward card gets you .03 off per gallon.

I noticed this trip up to AK that truck stops (Pilot, Flying J, TA) where all a lot higher than the other regular fuel stations. I also noticed a lot of truckers filling up at those too, so I didn't feel bad about going to them. Especially when it was .15 - .20 a gal cheaper... I did top off the DEF a pilot, I just didn't fuel up there...

I paid $3.52 today here in SC.

This is also why I have a 50gal aux tank. I can fill up in SC, skip Ga, Al, Fl, fill up in Ms or La. Best prices I get to see are SC, MS, LA, IN. Everywhere else I have to go I gotta shop around or just pay out the nose if I need it. MO isn't bad either. With the big tank and burning about 150gals a week, I figure I save about $25/month by being able to drive by high tax states, maybe more or less at times, but it's worth it in the long run for sure.

What bugs me about the grocery store points systems is that it limits us to a 20gal fill at the discounted price. Doesn't work for me but my wife saves a lot with it with her Expedition 5.4 gasser. By the way, her 5.4 Expedition averages 16mpg with the in town driving, that's pretty dang good!

No, I believe I was correct at 3.35 per US gallon. Multiplied the conversion of 1.27 per litre times the factor mentioned in the link.

Sadly you aren't, I think you are using Imperial gallons, not US gallons.


It's $3.99 a gallon here in California.

That chart is wrong, for one thing it says to multiply by .264 to convert to US gallons when you divide by .264 which is multiply by 3.78 because there's 3.78 litres in a US gallon. Then you convert the currency. Using your 1.27/litre that gives 4.80Cdn$ for a US gallon of fuel.

What math did you use?

Using Imp gallons makes it even worse as then the divide is .22 and mult is 4.55 which yields $5.77Cdn/Imperial gallon.

At 3.35/US gallon that's about 0.88/litre, I wish it was that cheap. You have to figure the numbers are wrong when you find the price in Canada for fuel (or anything for that matter) is less than the US price.

Yea, I was wrong. And I did not even calculate the difference in the dollar between Canada and U.S.

Seems Canadians are getting ripped off even more as usual. Same with prices of autos, ski doos, atvs, etc.

I do get around 11.4 litres per 100 kms though so fairly good for a big truck.
