RUG $3.89

Odd to see diesel, here, lower than the Carolinas, and RUG not very much higher.

Unhappy GAH !

I needed to fill up my truck today and wow have the gasoline prices skyrocketed in the L.A. Basin .

We saw some $7 / gallon prices, I had to drive 'round a bit to find $5.61 / gallon premium (my 'cheap truck' runs better on premium), I used the company credit card and that got me .18 cents off each gallon but still way too high .

Post So. Cal. Fuel Prices

They've been dropping all over Los Angles, I see as much as .80 cents difference between competing stations at intersections .

Diesel fuel is still too damn expensive .

We can thank gAVIN nEWSOM for that!

Begining of last year, he "added" 50¢ a gallon to diesel fuel with no reason, other than he doesnt like deez.
It'll NEVER be priced lower than gas, , , , at least in Kalif

Post California Diesel Fuel

I don't know that that's quite correct .

We also now have renewable / bio Diesel Fuel so I'm sure that has something to do with it .
