What's the price gap between diesel and RUG in your area?
 
I've noticed that here in SW Washington the price gap between diesel and reg unleaded gas is .60 to .70 more for diesel! :eek: The price of gasoline seems to be slowly going down while diesel continues to climb. If this isn't outrageous I don't know what is. Even premium gas is .30 less than diesel.
I see no incentive to use diesel in a car anymore. Prices like these won't help sales of diesels here.

About $0.80, although one local station's diesel is $0.91 higher. Crazy.

No, but it may be a good time to buy one. :)

2.39g vs. 3.39d. Bull****e

3.19 diesel, down from 3.23 recently. RUG is down around 2.65 from 2.80.
I like diesel going down, but I wish the gap were at least staying even. Pretty soon my gasser is going to be more economical to drive again if it keeps like this...

South Tennessee / North Alabama = RUG $2.69 Diesel $3.29

I made an error in the price gap in my area. Diesel runs between .80 and .90 more than RUG. It fact premium UL is .50 to .60 cheaper than diesel. My math sucks!

I've been looking for a deal but I haven't seen any.

Ehhh...

Diesel is about 20 cents more expensive than regular around here. About 2.58 per gallon in Epping, NH.

$2.39 RUG vs. $2.99 Diesel

The Toyota Highlander V6 4WD is cheaper to drive now, and has been for some time.

BTW I will put off any auto purchases until new & efficient technology comes out. Hopefully within two-three years something responsible, efficient and provocative will be produced by someone.

About 60 cents plus or minus .10. WVO is the only thing that makes my car economical to drive. Getting crazy....

In Northern Illinois it runs $2.589 for RUG, and $3.499 for Diesel at the local BP station! :confused: 91 cent difference!!! Unreal!
