Gas prices around here have been down for a while...like around 2.39 a gallon for RUG... at least 3 bucks for diesel of course. But hey, people can buy their gasoline powered 10 mpg SUVs again till the next price hike!

Gas is dropping like a rock. I saw regular for $1.98 today. Diesel is still around $2.85 or so in Northern Delaware.

Well it was still $2.63 at the cheapist place in my area, yesterday at least I didn't go by their today.
It drives me nuts that regular is $.50+ less then diesel. What I do know if these prices are here to stay with diesel being a lot higher then premium I will be buying gas next time around. Diesel loses all of its advantages when it costs so much more then gas.

Hey All-
I'm also disturbed that gas prices have been dropped somewhat, while diesel remains high. I think it's interesting too, that people driving gassers are thrilled they are paying $2.50 a gallon here in Chicago because "Well, at least it's not $3.00 a gallon anymore!" That's STILL much higher than forecasters predicted, and much higher than the proportional increase in crude prices. In short- we're all being screwed and we're happy to let it happen because it's better than paying $3 a gallon. I'll keep driving my diesel though- (even at $3 a gallon) I can't afford another car purchase right now, and I'm still getting twice the milage in the 190 than most see in a gasser. By the way- here's a great site for finding cheap gas in your area- it's saved me about $18 in the last month: www.gasbuddy.com -cheers- J |

From Florida to Charlotte, NC it was cheapest station I found....and the 93 300D ran fine with a fillup. Gonna make the track back to Florida Sunday will post prices I find. Happy Holiday to All
