Here in Wyoming Diesel is about 30 cents over gasoline or about $3/gal. Nationwide the average is 60+ cents according to the website oilprice,com. The spread is likely to increase as diesel is refined from the heavier crude grades. Not as much diesel in the Frack grades. Heavier grades tend to come from Mx, Venezuela and Canada. Heavier grades are showing a premium to the lighter grades per barrel. Marine shipping is moving to low sulfur diesel this year increasing diesel demand. I would look for diesel prices increasing relative to gasoline unless demand worldwide collapses.Prices in my neck of Baldwin County are still higher than the rest of Alabama…
Regular is averaging around the $2 mark with diesel around $2.65.
Cheapest around here is the new Buc-ee's that just opened about 20 minutes north of here. The first out outside of Texas! Their regular was $1.879 yesterday, and diesel was $2.459.
I spent over two hours there with a family member who spent way more there than I am comfortable admitting to anyone!
It was pretty impressive, though. I think it has well over 100 pumps, all of which have diesel nozzles. Selected ones also have ethanol free fuel and DEF dispensed direct from the pump, which is not something I've seen around here before.
hughho, I understand most of your response above, and appreciate your insight. I don't think I under stand the last few sentences though.

As an aside...has anyone ever heard of adding a half-pint if 2stroke oil to the tank for its lubrication qualities? Was told that it helps keep the fuel system and associated parts conditioned in a low sulfur fuel environment. Is there any merit to this?
£5.67/gal in Norway...
Diesel is about $2.00-$2.10/gallon on both sides of the Atlantic. Then there are transportation costs and retail markup, which are probably about the same on both sides of the Atlantic. The rest is tax.US $7.40
How much of that price is taxes and fees?
