I just filled up my tank today at Phillips 66 for $1.94/g in St. Charles County (St. Louis), MO.
RUG was $2.01. Driving a TDI in MO has always been good for me. Due to lower fuel taxes, diesel ends up being close most times.

If that number is correct, then it must be OUTSIDE California because here the spec is "equal to or greater than" 53.

A relative of mine who worked for Chevron said that they did the bare minimum to meet federal standards. But that was probably 20 years ago.
I've run Chevron for a few tanks in a row and the engine seemed quieter and mileage improved, so... Who knows.

I made a trip from Saint Paul through Madison, down to Rockford, over to the Quad Cities, then west from there. I stopped in Dixon, Illinois, where I found a Murphy USA advertising diesel for $2.179. But the actual price at the pump was $2.139 so I filled up even though I only needed 10 gallons. In Central Iowa almost every station along or near I-80 was charging $2.24-2.25/gallon. But traveling north from there the price rose gradually, especially north of US-20, back into the $2.45-2.49 range which is the same as most everywhere in Minnesota.

Made trip to see family in east Tn last week... under $2 many place.
Best in KY is 2.18, in central KY is 2.29, $2.49 is the most common price
There is a Kroger that has stayed at $2.29 and has NEVER moved the price since opening last year...

Diesel prices in the US of A are something we can only dream about in Canada.
I fueled up at busy OFF brand station on Tuesday and the adjusted for US gallon and exchange was $ 2.49 @ $0.919 liter. If I would have gone to a Brand name station the cost would be $ 2.93 @ $ 1.109 liter.
On my drive south I find the most expensive Diesel is in Michigan and it progressively gets lower with the least expensive being in Texas.

in metro denver a few days ago I got RUG for $2.149 and I got D2 for the same price I have been paying for months($2.199)...pretty much everywhere else in the area is 15-20 cents more a gal for both above what is stated above...
For some reason, the price of both has not budged in a few months in the Denver area.....
I have a friend in Castle Rock just south of Denver who told me both RUG & D2 are going for 0.15-0.26 than it is here in the area...

1 US Gallon = 3.785 Liters
1 USD = 1.29 CAD
However, Canadian fuel gives more mpg than US fuel; the best mileage I ever got was during a trip to Regina, SK back in 1970.
(Yes, I DO know why!)

Ha,ha, ha I think it 's the oppositeHowever, Canadian fuel gives more mpg than US fuel; the best mileage I ever got was during a trip to Regina, SK back in 1970.
, my mileage driving about 2,000 miles every fall from Detroit to Laredo and back in the spring. My mileage is usually very high, but that could be because it is almost exclusively on Interstates with fairly steady speeds and very little city driving.

I'm not that old (1976) so I have no clue what my parents were doing to get such great mileage.

Bigger (Imperial) gallons? or, let's see, no VW diesels in 1970, so what was it?However, Canadian fuel gives more mpg than US fuel; the best mileage I ever got was during a trip to Regina, SK back in 1970.

Yep, Imperial gallons! The vehicle was a 1964 Chevrolet El Camino, 283 cid V8 with a Powerglide automatic transmission.
I wanted to buy it from my father when I came back from Korea in 1972, but he had replaced it with a Vega station wagon! So I got a 1973 German Ford-built Mercury Capri 2600 V6 ("The Sexy European") with a manual transmission instead.

About $1.98 for RUG and about $2.09 for diesel, in Boerne, TX. There's one station in Fort Worth (Buc-ee's) that's consistently been at or under $1.99 for diesel. Lowest I paid this year was $1.79!
