So today, while out doing several errands in 'Miss Diesel' my '82 240D (I HAVE been attempting to conserve by trying to plan/consolidate my driving)
the Hess happened to be on my route and their diesel was indeed $2.80. So I guess 'Miss Diesel' will be getting a workout until the diesel price pendulum swings the other way, or summer gets too oppressive to drive without AC, whichever comes first!
Happy Motoring, Mark

Hess stations around here are considerably cheaper than other brands. Makes me wonder why. I had some problems with my TE after using Hess premium (fuel distributor).... Now with the Hess ULSD I noticed a drop in mileage after a couple of fillups (20.5 mpg down to 18.7).
