The last time I looked, RUG was 2.28 while #2 was finally less at 2.18, although both were up at least 10 cents in last day or so. Guess we can't complain, no where close to highest price. WVO still looks interesting, though might be a moderate problem here in winter.

Dang, it's hit $3.03 here in Coll-ee-FOR-nya, and that's at the economy station where I go. Bio-diesel is $3.60 at the li'l co-op place here in Bezerk-e-lee. Gonna start going there all the time, least til I start brewing it myself.

Forgot to add-with our deteriorating Relations with Venezuela, we stand a good chance of losing that 17% Oil they supply us with Daily. If that happens, folks will wish for the good old days of $3/gallon gas!

I filled up last night at $2.59/gallon...for the first time in a long time, the price for diesel at that station was cheaper than any of the three grades of gasoline.

I don't know about the most. I saw diesel cheaper than or equal to gasoline today in the suburban Chicago area - $2.69 vs $2.69, $2.69 vs $2.74 & $2.69 vs $2.78. Some one even put an 81 240D (with a 300D trunk lid) up for sale on the road between the the three stations.
