I found cheap Diesel in the DC area!

Well it is $4.69 a gallon which is about 20 cents cheaper than normal around here.

The place is in DIckerson on Md Rt 28 at a little market. Best of all it is LSD not ULSD. It smelled different than the garbage I have been pumping at the ULSD pumps.

If you are in the Frederick, Gaithersburg, or Dickerson area stop by...

Thanks for the info, I'll have to check that out.

It's also $4.69 at the Seven Corners Chevron

There's B20 ($4.83) at the Navy Exchange Quarters K Gas Station at the intersection of Columbia Pike and S. Joyce in Arlington

This should make you all feel a little better: Today, here in sunny, bloody expensive, overcrowded California, I passed a station w/Diesel just above $5 per gallon.

Remember when many years ago we thought the phone company was the devil? we were wrong. It's the oil companies.

I'd like to think you're right, Jim, but yesterday oil spiked back up over $130 a barrel. I don't think it's going down yet.

Not another: look how cheap diesel is thread.

Wow they already have you guys believing that anything under $5.00 is cheap. That didn't take long.

Nope, anything under about $7 is cheap, as we will find out.
