Buy what ya want I guess.

By the way, heating oil competes with diesel for refinery time. There is no shortage of oil, just refined products. Those states that ran all the refineries off cause they don't like the way they smell have to pay transportation costs.
I saw a TV special where they stated that there are 37 different formulations for gasoline. Diesel gets anti gel addatives in cold climates. These things cost money. If you live in a place where the enviromental whackos are holding everyone hostage, tough luck. If you would have fought these things harder, maybe you might not have to suffer now.
No Sympathy here.

Thanks i needed that. But i'll think of you in the winter when you need to heat your home with that cheap oil 
. Yes the west coast does you in on fuel.
