madison wi area D2 is $2.59 and B100 $3.229.
unleaded gas $2.19 why?

Gas is cheaper, diesel is cheaper, but milk is still too damned expensive. Why?

Good thing the car doesn't run on milk, we pay $7.XX/4L

Sorry, Vitoarc, I'm have a hard time feeling sorry for you. I'm still paying $2.95 for D2. So... I don't think you have the high price record. Of course RUL is still $2.69 here too.

Diesel continues to be 25% HIGHER than RUL in the Burlington, VT area. Oh yeah, and that's NOT ULSD since it can't be found anywhere. I am starting to regret owning TDIs. At least I kept my 6000lb SUV and can start driving it again...

RUL = $2.15/gal
D2 = $2.69/gal LSD

Why waste your money driving the SUV? Your TDI probably gets double to triple the MPG of the SUV.

$2.07/gal for RUG and $2.35 for D2 here in East San Antonio.

HFSH · October 25th, 2006, 06:24

2.55-2.65 in Madison WI areas

MrErlo · October 25th, 2006, 06:53

Sapp Brothers, Omaha NE

D2 or B20 = 2.499
RUG = 2.129

i like how they charge the same for D2 as BioD. in reality they probably get the BioD cheaper since it's all midwestern grown, but at least this way no one can use the "it's more expensive" excuse to not run BioD.

The stickers on the tanks still say LSD and I still see a bunch of smoke from my cars. It also looks and foams the same. I believe that the ULSD law says something like 80% of the on road diesel needs to be ULSD by 10/15/06 and they have until 2010 to be 100%. As a side note, it's kinda strange that it's not here yet since VT is a treehugger state and the environmentalists forced VT to adopt the CARB rules a few years ago, but then not a peep about ULSD which in and of itself is cleaner from a particulate point of view. Hypocrites! Anway, latest fuel prices in the BTV area:

RUL = $2.05
D2 LSD = $2.69

I'm getting more pissed by the day and don't like being taken advantage of which I now feel I really am getting shafted by driving a diesel. Thus the reason that I will start driving my truck again. If gas is going to be $2/gal or less and diesel has a $.70 price premium, I sure ain't gonna pay it. I'd rather pay more in gas to drive my nice, large, spacious truck then get taken advantage of by diesel sellers who are sticking it to me and every other diesel owner in the area. They are making HUGE profits on diesel for no reason other than they can since there is not enough passenger diesel owners to do anything about it. The longer this delta is there and the fact that it's there at all will fuel gas hybrids and not diesels. Kinda too bad since I really do like how the TDIs drive. Time will tell, I still keep hoping it's a hiccup that will get fixed in not too long, but I fear the worst, that the price delta is here to stay.

It is still going to cost a lot less to drive the TDI than your truck. Even at the local spread ($2.09 for gas, $2.69 for diesel) it is cheaper to drive a TDI Golf than a 2.0 gas Golf... much less a big truck.
