Rocky Mount, North Carolina....
$2.41 / gal at "the cheap place"
It's more than premium gasoline....

$3.19 for diesel and $2.81 for regular unleaded here in the hills of N Calif...roughly 10% higher price for diesel, but I get 40-60% better mileage than with my old gasser (an '01 Subaru that got only 18-20). My 190d avg 33 w/mostly country driving, the TDI gets 48 (still need to take it on a long highway only trip sometime, but 600-700 miles is a long way to get the tank empty ).

Either way, I'm saving $$ AND I am not driving the same dang car as everyone else.

I love how fuel seems to go up almost a dollar a year. At this rate we will be complaining about $4 a gallon fuel next year.

A small 4cy gas car that gets over 30mpg on cheap regular is starting to look pretty good.

The brilliant economists on TV tonight have been amazed that the economy is "taking it is stride". Ha. Americans like buying cars and driving them, and will continue to do so; they will simply stop buying/doing everything else. The economy is going to tank if this continues.

I think that the figures they keep quoting are lagging reality.

Let's see.... Todays front page news in the Oregonian was "Northwest Gas prices zoom to new highs" Cheery news to begin with that gets worse as the graph at the bottom of the page shows diesel prices last august as $2.08. Today's diesel average: $2.74 apparently breaking all records for the state.
On the brighter side of things I just netted two solid sources of WVO, 10 gallons of greasy gold.

Here in Vernon, CT. I am paying about $2.67 a gallon. Before you know it, it will be cheaper to buy Wesson oil from the supermarket. Any idea of what the max ratio one could go with before having issues? I am talking about dumping new off the shelf veggie oil. I am seriously thinking about this. If diesel is running $2.70 in Aug. just imagine what it's going to cost in the winter, especially here in New England. So for winter use, what ratio could I get away with?

Here in Arkansas it is only 2.29 for Diesel and 2.35 for RUG. Just filled up agian on it before it goes up more. In Little Rock i saw that it was 2.49 for diesel.

What would be a good ratio for me to use WVO and RUG in HOT Ark. climate? it is around 95-100F here most days.

My 2 cents...

"i pity our friends in the UK who are paying roughly equiv for 1 us gal of diesel
around us$6.30 "

At least they do have a choice, they can use public transportation, what choices do we have here in US?

Hattie: at the rate things are going I think we'll be complaining about $4/gal fuel by Thanksgiving. By next year at this time we'll be complaining about 5 or $6/gal fuel

My friend from Belgium just emailed me today and this is exactly what he wrote...

"what are the prices of fuel and diesel now at the moment in the u.s.? in belgium we pay now 1.28 euro for 1 liter unleaded. and 1.10 euro for 1 liter diesel. we have very hard times at the moment."

.......OUCH! .....and I thought I was complaining of diesel & fuel prices skyrocketing, while my regular paycheck is just idling.

plenty. depends where you live and to say everyone in the uk has the choice of using public transport is simply rubbish.

$3.00 everywhere in the Napa Valley, but I got a bargain down the coast in Moss Landing. Diesel was only $2.97. I shoulda kept that 400E...

3.00 / gallon, as high as 3.24 on 101 north of Salinas.

OTOH, soybean oil is 3.00 / gal at Costco, so I bought 2 cubees last night and topped off the 300D to give me a 30% oil/dino blend. . Runs great, even a little smoother in the morning.

I'm going to look for some WVO on my lunch break today.
