The price has finally come down...my favorite truck stop now at $2.45 today
was at $2.55 last week.
Now that summer is over, along with any "crisis" the oil companies can dream up to hike the price. We should see lower numbers at the pump.
The "convenience stores" are still up in the $2.70s but I don't buy from them anyway.

I checked the Greater Raleigh area web page this morning and the lowest D2 was 2.59 while the lowest price for unleaded regular was 2.19 but most were in the 2.22-2.29 range.

__. Hey, Bill. If you're heading up towards Burlington or Greensboro, the Flying J at Exit 150 has fuel for about $2.45 and it's creeping lower.BillsTDI said:

Diesel $2.59 at local Wal-Mart while reg unleaded is $1.99. Price difference is pretty much same everywhere else. THAT makes me mad!
While gas was $2.89 I was paying $2.99 for diesel! THAT makes me MADDER! Somebody post some pictures of puppies or I'll go off!

Or you can go to the Resco Mart (Phillips 66/Red Star Oil Co) on Hwy 401 in Garner and get D2 for 2.49. It's less than a mile from the 70/401 split, so it's not too far out of Raleigh.mrGutWrench said:

Today crude oil futures for November delivery closed at $61.45/bbl. That works out to $1.463 per gallon.
November unleaded gas closed at $1.52, heating oil at $1.70. There is profit to be made on distillates (HHO, diesel, jet fuel), but little or none on gasoline at current prices. Either crude must go down, or gasoline must go up.
There is no incentive right now to import gasoline from other countries... unless there is absolutely nowhere else to dump it.

In Raleigh, NC today (9.27.06) URG is 2.15 to 2.33 with the higher prices in the Cary area. D2 is running 2.53 to 2.79. Again, the highest prices are in and around Cary.

Here in Cary, NC there is one Mobile station that just lowered the price of URG from 2.39 to 2.29 and that still is high. The same station just lowered D2 from 2.89 to 2.79. $0.50 per gallon difference! Give me a break, no wonder I never see a diesel vehicle filling up at that station. Go down the road and pay 2.65 or about 10 more miles and get it for 2.53.MrPolak said:Diesel $2.59 at local Wal-Mart while reg unleaded is $1.99. Price difference is pretty much same everywhere else.

__. Thanks, Bub. I'm heading for the Triangle this weekend - I'll check this station. D2 is still $2.79 down near in "the middle of nowhere".bubbanc said:
__. Have you checked the prices lately at the Hess truckstops/travel centers at exit 306/312 off I-40? They're handy but their prices are usually a few high, so I'm guessing they're "lagging" on this trend.

First ULSD tank
Well, it's here...clean diesel has arrived to South Florida. I got my first ULSD tank filled 30 minutes ago at $2.699/gal.
I guess they must have broght it just today because there was an attendant at the pump distributing brochures to each diesel car/truck stopping to fill up.
I only drove 2.5 miles on it so it's definitely too early to notice any difference for better or worse.
I'll keep you posted.
Anyone here has already used ULSD?

The refineries have not been making anything except ULSD since their June 1st deadline. The storage facilities at the terminals were probably close to 15ppm by August 1st. All retail outlets were probably close to 15ppm by Sept 1st.
Your local station is just doing a bit of advertising. Their fuel almost certainly met the ULSD specifications a month or two ago.

I filled up at Wally World for $2.42 across town. Wally World down the street is holding at $2.49. Entec across the street is pushing their sludge at $2.51. Regular gas is stuck at $1.99. All prices in Montgomery, AL.

Not disagreeing with you Tornado, but I have been noticing a significant difference in the way my car is running and performing, since I drove the past 100 miles on "arguably" my first ULSD tank.TornadoRed said:
I posted more here http://forums.tdiclub.com/showpost.php?p=1471711&postcount=1379
Mind you, 99.9% of the times I fill up at the same station. And my numbers have been pretty consistent until yesterday.

Haven't checked them out. Looks like the Resco/Phillips 66 went up to 2.59. Oh well.. still cheaper than most of the places around here at 2.65.mrGutWrench said:

__. I drove I-40 on Friday PM and had a look at the Hess (and other big stations at 302 and 318 exits) signboards but for the life of me I can't remember. But they were a good bit higher than the $2.45 I paid at Flying J at Haw River last week. Can't remember, can't remember ... gee, it's hard getting old; a mind is a terrrible thing to lose.bubbanc said:
