Question Who's paying the most for diesel fuel in the US?

Diesel is from $2.49 to $2.63 here in SW Washington/Vancouver area.
That's just too much!
Can anyone beat this?

I just filled up today for $2.18. I love spending $40 a week on diesel.

I have seen it for $2.29 at one of the expensive stations in town.

In NJ fuel is still cheap, just under $2 I think.

Well we are stuck with 1.779 here at Wally World's Murphy Oil Outlet. Yeah I should be satisfied, but still remember filling 5gal cans for the trip home in the 190Db at the main lodge in the Grand Tetons for .209/gal. Oh, yes! and it was a few decades ago, during the great embargo of 1973!

Could all change next year when they jam a big increase on our state tax.

Just paid 2.39/gallon in San Jose. I don't believe that it's going to get any cheaper in the future, the only direction the price of oil is headed is up.

Boy, at this rate us biodieselers won't need to do anything but wait. In a few months you'll be banging down our doors begging to pay only 3.20$ a gallon.

Patience, my pretties, patience.

peace,
sam

How much is diesel?

The Lukoil in Tyson's Corner is the cheapest place in the DC/NoVa area at $2.09/gallon (45 cetane). In Arlington, I've seen it for as much as $2.36/gallon (40 cetane).

Does anyone here live in Hawaii? I'm sure it's outrageous there, as usual.
