Finally, diesel cheaper than all other gas grades.

Not that diesel has gone down, but at least I feel better looking at the prices at the local "gas stations".

Premium costs the most
Mid grade
Regular
Diesel - "Cheapest" - (still too dern expensive, but that is my opionion)

Somehow this (for this week at least) re-establishes the natural order of things.

But I still remember 2000 with my TDI, being re-imbursed per mile for 80 cent diesel, when gas was $1.20 and getting 50 mpg.

Amen to that. Here in York area of PA, diesel is falling somewhere in between regular gas and premium. I have been purchasing mine in Timonium, MD, its been right around 2.55-2.59, about .20 cheaper than in PA.

Thumbs up

It's about on par with 89 here currently, nearly a wash to drive a gasser like the 420 (well if it ran but soon will have a 560 motor )
