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.

Benefits of a warm winter?

Yeee - Haaaaaa

Lower Westchester NY: $1.29 for Mobil regular gas, $1.59 for Hess 42 cetane diesel. Yikes!

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.

Hey there... I too live in LA and would love to know where that chevron station with the cheap diesel is.

Thanks!

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.
