SW PA

Diesel $4.29
RUG $3.89

Odd to see diesel, here, lower than the Carolinas, and RUG not very much higher.

Post So. Cal. Fuel Prices

They've been dropping all over Los Angles, I see as much as .80 cents difference between competing stations at intersections .

Diesel fuel is still too damn expensive .

We can thank gAVIN nEWSOM for that!

Begining of last year, he "added" 50¢ a gallon to diesel fuel with no reason, other than he doesnt like deez.
It'll NEVER be priced lower than gas, , , , at least in Kalif

Post California Diesel Fuel

I don't know that that's quite correct .

We also now have renewable / bio Diesel Fuel so I'm sure that has something to do with it .

Within the 1st week of 2023, deez jumped by 50¢ or so, never announced, but newsom on the news (while boasting about his new laws). Only once, then news media quickly dummied up about it, good lap-dogs that they are.
I spent a bit of time looking for any explaination. Just newsom saying 'I'm raising the price of diesel 50¢ a gallon'. that was the end of it, , , ,

What gets me is, 100 yards away from my chosen station, other side of the freeway, deez is 80¢ MORE per gal. Only bio deez around, locally.
the cheaper one, my choice, is bio deez, (works fine in my cars), but its still about 50¢/gal more than gas
