Diesel is about $1.30 a gallon, with unleaded 87 around $1.15, premium is about $1.34. Diesel in this area of eastern PA has typically been somewhere between unleaded plus and premium gas. Only once, for a couple weeks maybe two years ago, was diesel cheaper than regular unleaded.

Ok guys, hold on to something

Current fuelprices in Sweden:

Diesel 8.24 Skr/litre = 3.16 USD/gallon
Gasoline 8.52 Skr/litre = 3.27 USD/gallon

To top it off we dieselcar owners pay the gascar taxes times 5.
Mine is currently 780 USD/year


Try that on for size!!

Up here in the frozen north (Canada), diesel has been 10-12 cents cheaper PER LITRE for a long time - before that even cheaper. Mind you, our fuel prices are still way more than south of the border.

Greetings All,

Diesel today was $1.24 while 87 octane gas was $1.29 I can still find diesel for $1.19 at small Mom & Pop stop, but rather use Philip's 66 high traffic pumps for a little more money. Does anyone know where the prices might settle? Sounds like another go-around to me, (political B.S.)

Go to Gaspricewatch.com and you can find the price of fuel anyplace in USA by putting in the zip code.

Register and you can help support the website by updating your local fuel station prices.

Just paid $1.399/gal. for diesel at Mobil station on Lee Rd. in Winter Park, FL... not very happy since the last I bought there 2 weeks ago was $1.31!!! When does all this "lowering of price" get to Orlando?

The two cheapest places I've found here in Atlanta (that I still trust to have good fuel, anyway) were charging $1.09 last week, $1.19 this week. About a month ago it was $0.98. I hope it doesn't keep going up!

It appears that diesel has been holding steady here while gas has risen a good 15-18 cents or so. Diesel is cheaper than premium but usually more than plus. I just paid $1.399 for Sunoco "Premium Diesel" yesterday. Have seen regular diesel for $1.359, and that's without travelling miles to find a bargain.
