Exclamation So Cal $2.99/gal diesel... La Mirada

I haven't seen diesel this cheap anywhere else (same price as regular gas at this particular station) so I thought I would let you all know. Arco on Valley View and Imperial hwy.

I don't think it's that uncommon. I saw it for $2.99 at a Shell in Burbank (around Alameda/Victory or something like that).

fuel prices are all over the place.

76 in Scotts valley $2.99

Shell santa Cruz $3.42

Vallero Soquel $3.49

These are feel good prices, just wait until election time is over. be higher
than it was during the last spike.

Or the A Rabs get hungry.

Diesel is $3.67 up here. And it finally happend, diesel is exactly $1 a gallon more than regular. They both dropped a few cents today and the $1 spread is holding, great.

$2.85 at 76 at Burbank and Topanga Canyon near the 101 in Woodland Hills -- .25 cheaper than RUG. Meanwhile, some other stations sell diesel for $4+. I want to run in and cuss out the clerks.

Filled up with $2.97 a gallon this morning, and got 27mpg. Not bad at all.

Looked up Gasbuddy.com first though
