Paid $3.469 at the Murphy USA on US-29 in Pensacola the other day. As soon as I started pumping a storm dropped a load so I had to vent with one hand and hold an umbrella with another. I still got soaking wet but I think nothing got down the filler neck. 
This was definitely a case of "Should have waited for better weather" but where I live in Alabama diesel is still $3.759 — so you can see why I made a beeline for this place!

$3.699 is now fairly common in the Twin Cities area, but in a few isolated locales prices have dipped into the $3.50s.
Still there are some stations which have ignored the general trend and are still charging $4.199-$4.299. I doubt that they get many customers at those prices. And every day that they keep their prices high, the fuel in their tanks is losing value.

Paid $3.58 for B15 at Love's in Fort Mill, SC this morning. They switched from B5 to B15 sometime over the last 6 - 8 weeks. At least at this station, there is now a 50 cent spread between rug and diesel.

The cars were scrambling to get the cheap gas at Rojo Irving rt1, Norwood. Thought a guy was gonna dent my door as he was maneuvering for the busy gas pumps. I was the sole occupier of the four diesel pump island.
RUG 3.399
D2 3.599 (lowest it's been here since 2/22/11 when it was 3.499)

That is strange. I watch 4 stations pretty religiously every day and the one I purchase at very religiously. Saw the 7-11 RUG went up this morning. The Homeland across the street where I fill up followed by the time I drove back by after work. Was happy to see D2 go down though, as it has been holding steady for a week or so at 3.49.

I noticed a jump of about 10 cents/gallon for RUG at the terminal. I wasn't paying attention to gas prices at the pump. Diesel is holding steady, but I would not be surprised to see gasoline higher this weekend.

I saw reports of a pretty big one day spike for gasoline in the midwest on GasBuddy the other day. Seems like some folks saw regular go up something like 30¢ in one day. Maybe it's a ripple effect?

There are serious problems at the giant Motiva refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. It is supposed to be processing 600,000 bpd of sour crude, but instead is only able to handle 275,000. The markets were anticipating the higher levels of output, and now there's a scramble for supplies to meet summer driving demand levels.

Oddly enough, D2 went up at my normal location by 3 cents from 3.42 to 3.45. It was 3.42 last night. I stopped to fuel up today and 3.45 (with 15 cent coupon to make it 3.30)
Pretty sure I will never figure it out....

The major chains in Minnesota all bumped RUG up about 20 cents/gallon -- mostly to $3.79 but some only to $3.75.
Diesel stayed where it was and in some instances actually dropped. So there are many stations charging $3.55-3.59 for ULSD (B05, actually), and $3.69 is the most common price metro-wide.
I didn't take any photos of stations posting diesel cheaper than RUG, but I saw this at lots of stations today.

I did a bit of a double take this afternoon while in a different part of town to get some delicious custard. The BP across the street from the custard & coffee shop had posted $3.559 on the sign where diesel normally is… I had to wander across the street to see they are now selling ethanol free gasoline for that price and listing it where the diesel price used to be. Dang — I would have filled up at that price, since everyone else is $3.699 & up.
Still though, that's cheap for e-free around here. Many places sell 89 octane Marine fuel to cars but charge $3.899-4.549 for it, while regular unleaded is just $3.139 at some spots.

the price of RUG has really gone up around Denver. D2 is running $3.629-3.709, RUG is from $3.499-3.759 and E-85 is running $2.999....

Wow. I've done right at 180 gallons of fuel so far this year. I'd shudder to think what it would have cost had I parked my Golf, as the only other car I have regular access to is an RX-8 - with all of 21 mpg on premium.
