Price of GAS vs Diesel

What is the price difference of GAS and DEISEL in your area? The price has changed back to that diesel is less than gas. In zip 98188, Seattle, it is 0.02 less. In 85374, Surprise AZ, it is 0.32 less at Safeway. It is even a few cents lass at Sams Club 4 blocks away. I felt that the offset from gas to diesel may not have been good deal in costs, forget the power difference. It's the cost per mile that counts.

By me in the bay area I can get diesel for 2.79(the cheapest place) up to 3.29 about 1 mile apart from each other, and gas is about 3.49 to 3.99

In northern New Mexico, I am paying 2.19 for Diesel, and 2.55 for Gas. Yay for a diesel truck and a motorcycle that gets 55 mpg.

Filled up today, diesel is $2.53, gas is $2.49. A mile down the road though diesel was $2.56 and gas was $2.59. I'm so glad I got a diesel, 14mpg is the worst I've gotten where as 10mpg was the best I could ever get with my 460.
