I almost made it without filling up this month. Paid $1.849 at the Circle K Exxon, which is 30¢ higher than my last fillup on February 27th. At least it's cheaper than gasoline again. Gasoline has gone up over 40¢ a gallon in the same time period.

Just paid $1.82/gal - a little more than regular, but a lot less than super. And being Sam's it is also cheaper than most stations in the area. A lot are getting up around $2/gallon. Even RUG is getting up there is plenty of places.

All the stations in my area Shell Speedway BP Mobil Clark KwikTrip & the Independents are getting $199.99 per gallon including Costco which has been the low price leader in the past.

Mental note: don't drive anywhere near Wisconsin until they get the pricing under control!
Assuming that the decimal is off a couple of places, not bad...

I filled up my car yesterday in Lake Wylie, SC. Saw something that I had thought was long gone. Diesel was $1.75 and rug was $1.82. Add 20 cents each for the higher octane grades. On a wag, I think the last time I paid less for diesel was probably 2005.
It makes the discussion of a diesel or gas canyon easier. Although, at those prices and the differences in mileage, it will still take about 20 years to payback the $4500 upcharge for diesel and the "thrown-in" goodies.

1.99 in Elkridge MD on Sunday. I had to try three pumps to get it! The first had the big nozzle for the trucks, and the 2nd & third had the correct car diesel nozzle, but the 2nd one was badly bent and wouldn't go into the tank. Of course, the cashier couldn't be bothered to care about it when I went in and told him.

How long do you think you'll keep the truck? Five years ago gasoline was right around $4/gallon. It could easily go back to that price in the next five years, or higher. If it does, the payback would look different, I imagine.

I've been through all the arguements before and know that current pump pricing is exteremly volatile. The rug down here has gone up 40 cents in three weeks. Diesel hasn't moved.
How long will I keep the truck? Who knows. I'm thinking right now that I may give the wagen to one of the kids and have the truck as my daily driver, but then I consider that one is still in college and doesn't need the diesel for running around her small town. The other only lives about five miles from their store and they mostly drive his car. She has the 03 Passat that we bought 5 years ago with 60K miles and she's now around 110K. They p$$$ and moan about the cost of oil changes for that. Can't imagine what they would do with the 40K oil and dsg service charges on the wagen.
If I give up the wagen, I will have to add a trailer hitch to the Golf so that we can have a drop car for kayaking.

According to AAA, the national average on April 5 2016 for RUG is $2.052, and for diesel $2.100 -- 4.8 cents/gallon is an unusually narrow spread for this date.
According to EIA, the Energy Information Agency, they calculate the average national prices of RUG and diesel just a bit differently -- $2.083 and $2.115, respectively, for a 3.2 cent/gallon spread.

After the big jump in gasoline prices, they are starting to fall again. Diesel is still cheaper than gas at a few places but the gap is much narrower now.
I don't expect it to last unless diesel doesn't change before the summer holidays kick off.
As is the case in my area near the gulf beaches, the gas prices jack up about 48 hours before the first of the Spring Breaks start, and fall in unison about 48 hours afterwards. They'll go up again the week that Alabama schools let out because they gotta screw the tourists as much as possible.
Happens every year.

I was just in that neck of the woods and noticed that your diesel prices are about the same as where I buy in SC, but your rug prices are about 10 cents higher and bigger variation from one station in Mobile to another. Noticed diesel around $1.78.

According to AAA, diesel is now cheaper than regular unleaded gasoline in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area: $2.150 for RUG, $2.133 for ULSD. I don't think this has happened in the last 12+ years.
Statewide, the discount of RUG to ULSD narrowed from 4.9 cents to 3.0 cents.
And nationally, RUG is 0.1 cents cheaper than ULSD. So it is likely that diesel will be cheaper by tomorrow.

It's official. According to AAA, the national average for diesel is less than the national average for unleaded regular gasoline. $2.163 versus $2.173.
And diesel is cheaper in the Twin Cities metro area.(but maybe not for long)

I've been stuck at home for several days now, but last time I spot-checked prices in south Baldwin County, Alabama, the only reason diesel was cheaper than regular was because regular had spiked up again suddenly.
Regular seems to be around $1.999-2.099 and diesel is $1.959-2.099 in this general area. I filled up on April 30th for $1.679 with a fuelperks! discount at a local Shell, so I feel like I did really well. I'm really getting into a "once a month" fillup pattern now. It still feels weird.

Nice, all of my mom's side lives in Daphne and Fairhope. I lived in Mobile for a couple years as well. Diesel was always more expensive there than TX.
