In the Denver area as of this morning D2 is running the cheapest was ~$4.20-4.35 for B-02 to B-10% which is the amount of Bio Diesel minimum requirement in all D2 sold across Colorado...

I also add 2-3 US OZs of acetone to each fill, which helps keep any moisture dissolved in the fuel, keeping gelling away before the winter switch to treated fuel in a few weeks out here...

Also I change my my DOT4 brake fluid in all my vehicle reservoirs sucking out the old with a large syringes every 3-4 months throwing the old brake fluid in my Jetta & Passat TDI's tanks, this helps keep all of the seals soft and leak free. Ends up being some of this in my fuel most of the time since I am pretty much changing one of my four vehicles brake fluid every few weeks...

Don't try any of these things if you have a TDI-CR car, the rotary type injection pump (VE pump) engines have no problems chugging my fuel mixes. The TDI-PD engines are a little more fuel mix sensitive, but they can run on this mix....

Just don't do any of those things to the CR diesels! Don't think the HPFP or the DPF will like any of it.

It is a normal seasonal pattern for diesel prices to gain relative to gasoline at this time of year. All of the winter-blend gasoline that has been stored since April has now come back on the market.

$6.50ish here in Central Valley Modesto area.
We can go on and on about seasonal patterns and whatever but the controlling factor is truly deeper than that. The prices will/are being falsely held down by selling off and by using up our oil reserves...
UNTIL the election... MARK my works the $ will go sky high after the election.

Ask yourself this. Why is Ca. sooo much higher than anywhere I know? Because theyve already got this state hijacked... Why is red state like Texas so low? (yes the oil production still part of the formula). But the PRE election contributing pressures, what ever they are, help sway the "on the fence" voter to go blue. Texas beware you aren't safe and are in the cross+hairs for sure. They're so hungry for this state it makes their tofu' burger look like beef. Half of my heritage is in Texas so Ive been watching this intensely FWIW

I paid $4.76 yesterday. The cheapest I saw was 4.69, but the station with 4.76 had an offer on upside for $.24 back and gas buddy for $.14 back and it was a shell station, which I have rewards at which gives me $.03 back, so it ended up being a lot less.

I saw $4.99 for a gallon of diesel and $5.07 for unleaded Sunday. So diesel is cheaper than unleaded for the first time in awhile here.

ULSD futures price on the NYMEX price is up 96 cents/gallon since the beginning of last week. I'm not surprised, really. Just need to make sure all your tanks are full before the really high prices hit your local stations.

Just paid $6.79/gal here in the SFV, Los Angeles area. Would have been $7.09 without grocery points.

Could probably drive around and find it somewhere in the middle of those prices without the need for points. But I don't drive enough to make a search worth it. This was my first fill up since late August.

My crystal ball says: prices will go up until just before the eleection then drop enough to make most feel some sort of relief.
