Morning all y'all. Gonna warm up today I think. Turning the AC back on until further notice.

I need some of that $4.69 fuel that Russ mentioned. Gotta fill the monster today.

Unocal 76 on the corner of Beach Blvd. and Rosecrans. I'm liking the trend!

I don't know what it is today, but the Arco on Telegraph Rd. @ True Av. in Downey is usually among the lowest priced around.

There's a 76 station on Firestone just West of the 605 that is usually one of the lower priced for Diesel as well.

George, is there a web site that shows the trails up there? Or do you just learn of them from friends?

Cool! That one's close enough to make it worth it for me.

I've noticed that one too, but I don't buy Arco. I never pay cash for fuel and don't like using their ATM.

Do any of you guys use Gasbuddy.com? I do, but the listings for diesel are spotty. We need more diesel participants.

It's nation wide. Once you select our region it will be http://www.losangelesgasprices.com

I try to find low prices on there before I drive too far looking for a deal. But it's hit and miss on diesel. My last tank I found on there at $4.89 when my local price was still $5.29, and that was right at 5 weeks ago. But now that station has not been reported, and it's too far to drive on a hope and a prayer. The reports are much more extensive for gasoline.

I haven't used Gas Buddy but this site was linked on FTE recently: Los Angeles Gas Prices - Find Cheap Gas Prices in California Bill posted it while I was working/lollygagging.

In the highest prices category they list the Mobil station in Diamond Bar that has consistently high fuel prices and very few customers.

That is Gasbuddy. It's the regional version of Gasbuddy.

Thanks Bill!

When my Son and I eat at Big Bubba's Bad BBQ in Paso Robles, we're each other's Gas Buddy! We love those ranch beans...

Have any of you seen the Cabela's edition Superduty?
Nice locking storage for long guns under the rear seats.
