And when they do have diesel, their diesel is junk! Every time I've put Shell diesel in any of my vehicles, they didn't like it...

$2.29 at a Rotten Robbie in Santa Clara...that's down from $2.33. Maybe this is the sign of a trend? *fingers crossed*

$2.599 for Chevron diesel in downtown Walnut Creek, CA yesterday. Here in Metro Bay Area diesel is now priced the same as premium unleaded at most stations.

Glad I own CVX; they're making a killing.

True.. but their gas is the best quality and my car does best with Shell. I tried Speedway... and I always had my car stall with them for some reason. I learned never to go back to speedway.

North east Okla -- Diesel $1.639, UNLR $1.939 Basically all stations the same, although they seem to move to new highs somewhat independently. It all ends up the same in 8 to 24 hours or so. Course still way cheaper than bottled water, which is really hard to burn!!!
