There's a place in near where I live that I always go to, It's always about 10 cents cheaper than the others around me. Right now they're selling it for $2.50 a gallon, same price as regular gas.

I like high-cetane or biodiesel blends. None of that 40 rotgut. 42 or 45 cetane only, or B20 biodiesel. I typically fill up with B20 at the NEX station by the Pentagon. Cost is similar to regular diesel sold everywhere else.

Near me it's $2.75ish, but there are a few stations 20 miles to the south, as low as $2.56. For some reason prices rise as you drive north. Maybe cuz its uphill

It's snowbird season, and we're on their flyway. Lots of old farts in motorhomes suck'n up all our diesel. Our prices tend to stay high until the migration is over.

Ahh, but brace yourselves for the increases come heating-oil season!

Happy Motoring, Mark

I found a "biodiesel" station near me so I went and gave it a try. Nowhere was the content% posted, so I went in to ask and the guy told me it was 5% biodiesel (or B5). What a huge gimmick, least they could go is B20, yeesh!
