Olympian on Gellert Blvd DC: $2.75!!
I found a Biodiesel co-op in Pacifica that charges $3.25, might as well just go for that....

Re: Cheap Diesel in San Francisco??

Dan,
It's in Pacifica on Edgemar drive in a private house with a pretty cool self service set up, I haven't jumped on it yet as I found out that the supplier has had some quality issues in the past and I am not sure that I want to have to replace my fuel filter so quickly if that's the case. The supplier in question is Bay Area biofuels located in Richmond, website is: www.bayareabiofuel.com
The other supplier they use is good old Kumar in Ukiah (Yokayo Biodiesel) and he always has the good stuff. Maybe I can get some to sample or even test as I have the titration kit at home...
Thanks for the birthday wishes

The Shell at the corner of El Camino and Hickey has diesel for $2.629 a gallon. There's a no-name gas station in Redwood City between Bay and Middlefield that has diesel for $2.599 that I saw the other day but didn't have money for fuel so I went to that Shell I mentioned earlier.

I went to that no-name one Fri after work; of the four vehicles fueling up when I was there, three were diesels

It's on the corner of 5th and Spring.

I was driving back from Picnic Day/ Sacto on I-5 and I saw Joe's truck stop just south of Stockton had DFO#2 @ $2.439. I wanted to stop even though I was only at 3/4 tank, but, I wanted to go for that bike ride more than cheap diesel.

Re: Cheap Diesel in San Francisco??

Bogstomper, whats the protocol for getting that biodiesel in pacifica?? do you have to join or do you have to call or something. I would like to fill up on my next tank. I like to use bio every 5000 to clean my system out.

Diesel is 2.639 at USA Gas on Berryessa just off 680 Fwy.
Have not found anything less in the southbay.

Anyone want to consider starting a new thread:
" Expensive Diesel in the S.F. Bay Area" ?

A " No Name" Station on Ocean Av. in Santa Cruz next to the Beacon Station.
Diesel $2.61

ALSO:
Some help please with a little rumor control or Urban Myth debunking.

Any one heard of Joe Avery?
Apparently a ( black?? ) marketeer in #2 diesel that supplies from an old road service fuel truck for those who are in the know. I heard of this questionable lead at Pick N Pull when talking to a grizzly old gent who was fueling his diesel Rabbit with a 5 gallon can that he said he gets filled for $6. If a true story wonder if it is heating oil?

The diesel did not seem to have any color additives.

Guys, FYI I am using B100 from a co-op in Pacifica at the moment. The price is $3, not much difference in price any more. If anyone is interested let me know....

Mackwood, There is a buy-in of $100 as a one time fee and then you can fill up anytime you want, day or night. I will need to refer you but that shouldn't be a problem. Let me know what you want to do...
Cheers, Rudy

On my recent trip to LA diesel was 2.49 - 2.35 off I-5 @ Tejon (top) of the grapevine. Closest was on the southern edge of Stockton, Westly, and Patterson ~2.37
I did see a station advertising diesel for 2.87/gal, but I believe it came with a free tube of K-Y jelly

Yep, $2.37 CASH price at Joe's in Lathrop(?), but, it's $2.42 if you put it on plastic.

In the SacTowm Fuel $$$ Thread PlatzDa posted this Web-Site for fuel $$$ www.californiagasprices.com It's accurate so far, the $$$ I'm posting is current. Let's see if it maintains?!?!?...
FYI: Go to these sites:
www.sanfrangasprices.com
www.sanjosegasprices.com
www.oaklandgasprices.com
You can find smaller cities/towns by scrolling down to the "Search for Gas Prices" section...It also gives you links to cities throughout CA & it's even got a message forum similar to Freds...
