Ouch, about $2 over what I paid when I topped off last weekend. Paid $4.42 /gallon with my discount.
I could say more, but I'd have to give myself a warning for going on a political rant.

My tongue was firmly in my cheek! It is cheaper than gas for the moment.

Diesel prices around me fluctuate in comparison to gas. They are rarely above what premium unleaded runs. They are occasionally below regular unleaded (as now, by .25-.40/gallon). Most of the time it is between regular unleaded and premium.

When you live in an area like Poway where the median home price is 1.2 million, you can probably absorb higher fuel prices than most folks.

California is just ridiculous. There are many other places around the country with median incomes close to that and the cost of living is half of CA.

Must be Cali...the Shell I like to go to for diesel is $6.58 Regular unleaded and $6.19 Diesel (cash prices). I assume the partial diesel tax suspension that started Oct. 1st is contributing to the difference. Gas has jumped up rapidly lately. The cheapest gas price nearby is $6.09.

August '22 Median Home Price = $977,500 (Down 14% from August '21)
2020 Median Household Income = $115,332 (Most recent data)
If you are trying to pay the mortgage on a median priced home and your family has that median income, you can afford almost nothing else.
