Diesel now 60 cents more than gas ????

Had to run into HEB tonight with the wife, and we went in her car so I could fill it up for her. When we pulled into the station, I noticed how gas had come down to $2.699 and thought "well, that's a little better."

Then I noticed the price of diesel at $3.299 . The store across the street had gas @ $2.719 and diesel @ $3.399. Sad to say that's still a little better than when it was @ $3.499.

What are the price differences in your neck of the woods?

dose anyone know of a way we start a recall of sorts on this LSF. I was told it adds between 60 cents and a buck to the cost of each gallon and the amount of sulfur they are taking out is not worth the added cost to us. any thoughts??? will post the differences in Boise tomorrow

I travel all up and down I81 here in NY for my job. The company put me into an 07 dodge sprinter with the V6 turbo diesel. Now I'll give the engine maker full marks. This thing gets 20 MPG. However the average for fuel? Runs around $3.59-$3.69... So yeah...I think we are getting hosed.

Gas is down to $2.69 and diesel just came down $.10 to $3.34. Gas has been on a steady drop since Thanksgiving around here. It was topped out around $3.10 just before turkey day.
