3.15 to 3.40 for dino in the chicago area. the price of diesel stayed pretty low and steady when gas was skyrocketing earier this year. trucking companies must be going ballistic these days, but bottom line we are paying more for all goods shipped.

In Spokane, WA at a Chevron station I saw that it was $3.61 for diesel, now that's crazy! I fueled up for $3.09 last time, now at that station the price is $3.49, $.40 cent increase...

down in Southeastern, VA...

We've been holding steady at between 2.899 and 2.959 around here for the last few weeks.

Arrrgh!

Premium can be found for around 2.70.

Most places around Fort Worth are $2.89.9, you can pay more - I've seen some as much as $3.09 - but not cars/trucks at the pumps.

Around $3.20

B100 holding steady at the usual $3.39... pretty soon that is going to be "economical" (!)

Between $3.00 and $3.20 depending on location/station. Gas is $2.95 regular though, so not much less.

Lets see...to pay this much for fuel in the good 'ole US in such a commonly unexplained fluctuating pricing system, a Korean might respond phonetically (I don't have the capabilities to write Hangul on my computer), "mee-gook pah-boh mon Iy-oh" meaning 'bunch of American dumb-a$$'s...and would they be wrong? Ah, the American way, makes me think of the movie "King Pin". We've totally 'Munsoned' ourselves, "...you know...to have the world in the palm of your hand and blow it..." I'm a patriot, which doesn't denote a right to slander things I don't understand but having lived in the US most of my life and having an idea of what goes on when it comes to GDP and foreign investment capital, we're whacked...

Just filled up the 240D for 3.08 at the Texaco near my South Alexandria (actually Fairfax County) neighborhood,
but today a few miles south in Woodbridge, where gas is often a few cents cheaper, the one diesel station (Exxon) had it for 3.29. Can you say "predatory-pricing"?!
Fortunately, I only fill this car about once a month.

Happy Motoring, Mark

All you guys seem to have "bargain" prices compared to where I am. WTF's the deal here?
Today it was up another 10 cents from yesterday. $3.69 at the places that were $3.59 just yesterday. I'm glad I'm not driving my diesel.

In NJ it was $2.95 at my "cheap" station
in Md it is ranging from $2.87 to $3.30
in WV I got road diesel for $3.19, but off-road High sulfur D2 is about $2.50. I think I will be filling my blue Kero jugs with that for "home use"

One factor to our high Washington State gas/diesel prices is the 34-cent per gallon taxes. We get a lot of great stuff for that 34 cents per gallon, so I don't complain. Of course, that alone doesn't explain why the price went up 10 cents overnight. That's just big oil greed!
