Where to but cheap diesel?

I just bought a new truck, 2018 KENWORTH T680 at the Wallwork Truck Center. I was thinking between electric and diesel truck and chose diesel. And now I see that price for diesel increases every day, so do you know if there is the way to buy cheap diesel?

Change your life and work to drive less. Side-effect is freed up time.

It's paying off for me.

Avoid buying Diesel at Truck Stops ! They are priced much higher than most.

Think back to last spring when Diesel was $6+ a gallon... when I drove across the country to pick up an old Dodge truck. Man was that $$$

I notice a slight bump in price here with most of the high volume retailers selling for $3.09...Only HEB still has it at $2.99...I topped off there just in case...If I limit my gun show excursions I'm good until maybe September......Ben

A few months ago, diesel finally dropped to parity with gas, and now its about 20¢ less than gas.

In my region, the metro areas (tax) and boonies (freight surcharge) are expensive. Somewhere in-between, especially at the off-brand stations, tend to have the better pricing.

I don't think there is a solution to your problem.

Congrats on your new 2018 KENWORTH T680 truck! That's super cool you got it from the Wallwork Truck Center. Choosing between an electric and a diesel truck can be tough, but it sounds like diesel was the way to go for you. It's a bummer that diesel prices keep going up every day, making it expensive to fill up your truck. If you're looking for cheaper diesel, some people check out apps or websites that show which gas stations have the best prices. Also, sometimes, if you go a little out of the way or to less busy places, diesel can be cheaper. And don't forget to ask other truck drivers where they fill up; they often know the best spots for good deals on diesel. Good luck finding cheaper diesel for your awesome truck!
