$3.45 a gallon in Tacoma, Washington for diesel, $3.29 for B99 biodiesel. Finally biodiesel is cheaper!

Yeah it appears that way. I'm almost tempted to start brewing bio now that the cost of dino diesel is up

That's ridiculous. If the difference becomes too great, it could become cheaper to drive the Subaru. With current prices it's about $0.11/mile in the 300D and $0.13 in the Subie.

According to Gas Buddy, the cheapest D2 in T-town is 3.29 as of today, $0.40 above RUG. Is that 3.29 bio down at APP on the tideflats?

Hopefully the drop in oil prices over the past week will continue and pull prices back down.

D2 is the same up here $3.29-$3.49. B99 is $3.45 a Propel. Where do you get B99 for $3.29?

The B99 for $3.29 is at APP in Fife. I remember about a year ago it was near $6 a gallon!

diesel 3.01 - 3.09 in Des Moines, most stations at 3.05. Ethanol unleaded has retreated from 2.79/gal to 2.75 recently. Unleaded is aroun 2.88, premium is around 2.99.

The W140 is presently costing $.11 / mile in town. The Golf D costs about $.06 / mile in town...yet somehow the W140 gets the most use...must be the comfiness factor.

Here in SE PA. 93 octane is 2.93. Diesel is 3.19-3.35 depending where you get it.

I am also doing the research to start blending. The small pizza place down the street from me told me that i could have all of their oil. 35 gals a week in 5 gallon totes.

Diesel is $3.09 to $3.49 here in Northern California.
Fortunately, WVO is still holding steady at $0.00.

I filled up my 300SD for 2.99/gal here in GR, MI.

I managed to find premium at 2.97/gal yesterday to fill the 300E....drove it almost 600 miles this past week, and averaged 25.3 mpg!

$3.08 at my local BP. But I use a BP card with 5% off which makes it $2.93.

Typical price seen is $2.759 per gallon. Lowest is $2.599 at a place where you have to pay inside.

Gasolene is running about $2.499 around here.

This is a cool map:
