Well diesel has hit a new low since I've been paying attention.
Unfortunately gas has opened up a serious gap in pricing, Costco has regular unleaded for 1.99 a gallon.

Re: BSD MPG
Wow, I thought I'd never see sub-$2 ever again!! $1 gap in price makes a diesel rig less appealing, especially when that $1 is 50% the price of diesel. You're usually coming out on top with diesel if petrol is 80% the price. But the power and range is still nice!

Agreed, but it irritates me to see diesel dropping more slowly than gasoline. Wipes out some of my savings for driving one of those weirdo diesel cars.

A couple weeks ago, gas dropped something like $.50, and diesel went up from $3.55 to $3.79.
Diesel is still at $3.39 here, $2.29 for gas.

Re: BSD MPG
Prices for gas and diesel are both running about $.20 lower down here. Between than and the mileage loss from the winterization of the diesel I'm annoyed. At least I still have boatloads of torque. It's like driving a little tiny locomotive.

Paid $2.87 for diesel at the Western in Parker last night, regular gasoline was $1.99, so locally the $1.00 gap has closed.

You can thank the Russians for their involvement in the Ukraine. What you're seeing is the result of economic warfare. Get the Saudis to lower their oil below the profit line for Russia and the Russians lose money in the global market place.

our oil development business is already beginning to suffer........
