Diesel Cheaper than Premium in Houston

Kind of a nice sight to see on the way to work this morning. A Valero station had diesel for $2.03, premium for $2.09!

Diesel here is 2.17 but regular was 2.26. We'll always pay more than Houston but it is nice to see it blow 87 octane.

I ran up to Hempstead today and saw diesel at several places for less than $2 per gallon.

Welcome to Alberta's reality. Lowest I have seen diesel for up here has been at the Flying J's which was $.714/l ($2.70/Gal), up to $.879/l at most places ($3.32/gal). 87 gas is going for around $.819/L.

I'm also VERY happy to see it below 87 octane around here, that's comparing cheapest to cheapest except for Costco gas. The just laid off about a hundred employees at the Big West refinery, due to less oil supply. Looks like they're trying to jack prices back up!

Wow! I'm really getting screwed out here! 2.59-2.79 for the most part for diesel and around 2.45-2.49 for premium.

You're kidding... That's so expensive. I think it's just your area. I filled up our car with regular unleaded today for $2.27 in the LA area.
