Shell Diesel Sale in Los Angeles

Always the most expensive place to get Diesel: up to $3.79 a week ago, the Shell station at Venice and Sepulveda, right off the 405 has a sale $2.99, only $60 to fill up the tank!

You won't see those prices here in S-California, all are above $3.00, when I saw the TWO on the sign it was like going back to the past, when life was good...

That is a good deal at $2.99. Everywhere else in LA is 3.30-40 a gallon.

Shell has been dping the same thing in No Cal. Selling for 2.95 while down the street its $3.27 and another place is 3.31
Must be a national deal - I usually AVOID Shell like the plague, because their gasoline is so CRAPPY!

Just fueled up in San Jose for $3.15 a gallon. B99 biodiesel, that is.
That's cheaper than the dino stuff anywhere around here.
Now that BD is cheaper than petro.....

There is a Shell station here that's selling diesel for $2.75. Which is really strange because that particular station is usually priced a lot higher. Most stations in the area are $2.79 - $2.89.

Is this something that Shell is doing?

We are now down to $2.75 in the greater Claremont area. I waited one day longer than I had planned and got lucky with a $0.04 drop.

Sory to hear that gents. Diesel in Atlanta has dropped back down to $2.59 at one of the Shell stations I go to.

But I want the .79 cent /gallon back.
