According to gasbuddy, we've gotten down to 1.81 at a Safeway in Puyallup. Still 1.89 at that same Arco, a couple other 76 stations are getting down to 1.99. The 76 at N 26th and Alder gives you a free any size coffee or fountain drink after buying 8+ gallons of fuel. If figuring in $2 or so for a large drink with 8 gallons of D2, that brings it down to around 1.74, that is if you were going to get the drink anyway

Cheapest RUG is 1.97...the gap widens

I'm amazed it's that 'cheap' in California. Last week, it was $1.99 out near Winchester, but the cheapest near me is $2.25 at local Hess stations, while the Liberty station is still demanding $2.89!

Happy Motoring, Mark

In my area of the San Francisco East Bay Diesel varies from $1.97 to $2.49, one place competing stations have $0.20 difference in their diesel (arco vs. chevron) and they are next door to each other. RUG is $2.04 to $2.19 in the same area...

Anyway, I'm Happy that i filled up my 300sd this past weekend at $1.97 and decided to use it for my commute this week instead of my gasser that would be $2.19/gallon to fill up...

Question, with #2 getting cheaper, why is B20 biodiesel still pushing $3.00/gallon?
