Diesel fuel $0.70 more than unleaded??
 

Here in Utah we can get unleaded regular for around $3.30/gal. Diesel goes for right around $4/gal. Is the same ratio elsewhere? Why in the world is there such a difference? I long for the good ol days of $.17!!! Yes, I am that old!

Today's price at my local station; unl $3.20, diesel $3.64. 13.75% higher in TN but 21.21 higher in Utah?

always felt that the main advantage of owning a diesel was the btu available in the diesel fuel was cheaper than that of gasoline. that is not so anymore.

Don't know about the rest of the US, but diesel has always been more expense than unleaded (even premium at times)...

I am not sure about always.

Around here its had often been cheaper. But in the past couple years it bounces around. Right now it costs more than premium here at about $3.79 a gallon. Premium is $3.47.

Yikes! I thought the 34 cent spread ($3.83 vs $4.17) here was harsh. Note to self - forget S350, shop for S320/420.

It's about a 40 cent spread here. Plus has always go down but diesel has been stuck at 3.79 for weeks.

Unleaded here is $3.80, and Diesel is $4.20. Been the same for both for weeks. About an 11% spread.

I filled up the diesel yesterday @ 3.80. Premium is about the same, and I think RUG is running about 3.60.

Tax
 

Don't know if this is true, but I think I recall at least in CA that diesel is taxed way more than gasoline

Its both conspiracy and slightly higher diesel tax. If they artificially keep diesel high, no one will be tempted to buy super efficient diesels (for the most part). I filled my beast 420 with premium a couple days ago at $3.61.....diesel is $3.99 at that same station, lowest diesel is around here currently is about $3.85

Its all a wash, I'm getting 17-18mpg in my 420....all city, and I use the throttle a bit. :D Costs me maybe $3 more a week to commute in it than my diesel, big deal. Come snowfall, its back to diesel power only for me. :D 420 never has and never will see snow...

diesels have 30% better volumetric efficiency over gassers, so you're still ahead when gas is $3 and diesel is anything less than $4 roughly speaking

diesel is abut 4.25-4.40 in LA right now !! cheap gas is about 3.69

RUG, 3.45 Premium 3.69, D is 3.79...

I recall, many years ago, diesel was always lower than any gas.

Just showing my age I guess.
