Prices haven't moved in our area in 3 months.....still $2.19 gallon.
Gasoline was 45 cents lower than diesel, but has snuck back up about 5 cents.

Still around $2.15-$2.20 here in Charleston, a new BP opened and is selling it for $2.03, probably just a promotional deal, won't last long. Don't think it will ever be cheap again unless they do away with the fuel sur-charge for transportation??

When the weather warms back up, the demand for heating oil will drop, along with the price for on-road diesel.

Diesel (AKA fuel oil) jumped a dime this week.
They claiming the severe winter conditions of the Northeast reduces the supplies.

Don't beat me, but #2 can be had in the Corpus Christi Texas area for 1.86/gal. (hooray!)
Those lower #2 prices have now matched mid-grade unleaded prices in this area.
What I don't understand is there is an 11 to 12 cent spread on #2 prices in this area...
Maybe some stores have gotten tired of lowering it just to raise it back up again, leaving it up.

I don't understand why the spread between Gas & Diesel is so different across the country?

Checked this morning and local Walmart and Our Indian Truck Stop have both raised gas to within 2 cents of diesel, which has not changed for 3 weeks. These prices are after $.03 discount with a pre-paid card.
Gas = $1.81
Diesel = $1.83

Our gas was almost $.20 less than diesel for 2 months. For some of you it still is???????

Paid 2.07 monday, Diesel has gone up some but gas is shooting up all over. Just glad Flying J bought the Shell refinery in Bakersfield or we would be paying thru the nose in Kalifornia. Shell was going to shut it down but the clean up would have cost them more than selling it to Flying J at a loss. Hopefully we'll see more Flying J stations now!

Kalifornia is always high though, but you know what makes it even worse? They oxgenate their fuel there, yes they add air to the fuel to help reduce emmissions. What logic.
