Diesel Cheaper than Gasoline !!!
Almost overnight gasolene prices have shot up in my area, while diesel has gone up about two cents/gallon. Diesel fuel is now cheaper at many places (locally) than all grades of gasolene.

Los Angeles Ca. My last fill up was at $1.33/gal at the cheap chevron station by the freeway. They are always the cheapest in town by about 10 to 15 cents. It is $1.49/gal at Mobil. I've noticed that it is usually close to the price of super unleaded around here.

At a mom & pop store here in Redwood CIty (San Francisco area), diesel's $1.43 a gallon and 87 g@$ is the same price.
Most other places, diesel's more like $1.45 to $1.49 a gallon, with 87 being a bit above that mark... No complaints here...except for my two Fords "only" getting 15mpg...

San Francisco (City) $1.59 diesel. $1.49 reg unleaded (Chevron). In ten years I don't think I've ever seen diesel cheaper than reg unleaded, except maybe at some Central Valey truckstop.

You guys don't know when your well off!!
London,United Kingdom over $4 US a gallon thats roughly what we pay.I love driving my Merc so much that I try not to look how much a gallon costs me now, so this price might be a little low 'cos I haven't compared prices for awhile.Bear

I'll throw in my diesel price for Chicago, IL.
Last I checked it was 1.49 but it could be more now. Anyway it was as expensive as premium gas in my area.

Regular 87 octane: 70c /litre Diesel : 56c /litre
