Diesel fuel cost going up fast (Texas)???????
What is the deal with Diesel fuel prices quickly on the rise here in Texas? For the first time ever, I've seen regular fuel cheaper than Diesel! $1.90 at some stations is sickening to me. This trend needs to turn around!

where are you located? here in Dallas it's been around 1.80, but there's a place not too far from here that's $1.69.
I try to fill up in OKC whenever I'm there... I think they've got some of the cheapest fuel in the nation if not the cheapest...

I'm in the Hill Country - New Braunfels & San Antonio area. I do see it for $1.78 at truck stop station, but the trend is $1.85 this week. It wasn't so long ago I could get it for $1.54. Gas prices are lowing to steady, but diesel climbs. What'z up???????????

not sure what's up w/ the pricing... I remember fondly getting diesel in OKC for $1.40 while my buddy was paying $2.30/gal for 87 octane in SanDiego! I haven't been to OKC in a while, but diesel was around $1.70-1.74 in the TX panhandle last week.
I was really happy to find $1.69 so close to home!

Buck eighty in Alabama now, killing my business.
Every fall the fuel goes up so that they can hit the north east residences for higher heating oil charges.
They eased the trucks into this so that they would not strike. They got away with it too.

H.I.D, have you ever thought about a big aux tank to fill in GA? Is the weight of the fuel too heavy that it'd prevent you from fully loading up? I know you must stop at that Flying J at the 20 on I-20!

roughly 1.79 here now... was steady at 1.69
saw on the news last night they are expecting $3/gallon for regular within the next year or so... don't know how high diesel will go if regular goes up that high!
