Is one grade #2 diesel, and another #1 diesel? Or a winter blend of some sort?
Or is one off-road non-taxed and the other on-road taxed. If this is the case I would think there would be more that $.08 difference.
And if it is the case, hopefully you put the taxed fuel if you are in an area where they watch it closely.
Or were they labeled as a “regular” diesel and a “premium” diesel?

Look to see what percentage they are for bio-diesel. One might be 5% or 10% and the other might be 15% or 20%. The price difference in #1 and #2 diesel is probably more than 8 cents a gallon.

He is one of our Northern friends; so that is $.08/Liter. It’s OK, I missed that part right away also.
