Is the price of Diesel dropping in your area?

In the Atlanta area in the last weeks the price of deisel has dropped from $2.98 to $2.48. That includes an extra 3 cents off for having a grocery chain card. Several other stations in the $2.50+ range. Good trend!!!

what grocery chain card?

we've got Giant Eagle with their GetGo but they don't offer diesel...and my present 1.52 off the price of fuel (limited to 30g) would be very nice for the 300SD but I can only use it on the 190E and hopefully snag the remaining x gallons that the car didnt take into some 5g tanks...
