Premium Gas Shot Past Diesel
Though we drive both gas and diesel vehicles, I was pleased to see premium gas went past the diesel . . . wait a minute . . . the diesel didn't go down
 On a side topic . . . talking with a gentleman the other day who retired from Mobil after 30-years. His retirement seemed to happen about the time Exxon came into the Mobil picture. He bought a million dollar plus property about fifteen miles from me and smiled broadly when I made a comment about the fuel prices rising to such heights. I got the dreaded idea from his grin that his stock options are probably doing exactly what he wants them to be doing . . . Drive on. Steve

I've got news for you. In Southern California (Long Beach), diesel is now $3 a gallon, topping even premium.

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.

Truman Lake, Missouri Area Prices
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.) Charles

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!
