Still holding steady at $2.09.

No signs of dropping.

Expecting it to rise a bit by this weekend, Memorial day and all.

Flying J has the best prices and Pilot the worst.

Fueled up today at a Shell truck stop (PCH/Santa Fe) in Long Beach, CA for $1.979, down from $2.079 this time last week at the same place. Not great but at least diesel is heading in the right direction.

Best price I saw on diesel this week along 99 in the San Joaquin Valley was $2.179.

Came down two cents yesterday. I'm going to go out and fill up when I get off work. It was only 2.25 a gal in Kennewick, WA. I was in Alabama last week and it was 1.65. But you know what, I would rather pay 2.25 a gal in WA. I've never driven in fog when it was 80 degrees out.

We make up for it in your winter time. Enjoy the $2.00+

Huh??? What!!!!!

GA has the lowest combined taxes, but I found fuel cheaper, and mind you on the holiday weekend, in Franklin, KY.....$1.519/gal.
Back home in WY it's a penny under $2/gal (second lowest combined tax state).

Just filled up the motorcycle for the first time this year,
(been too rainy, so haven't ridden much),

$2.19 for the good stuff.

What to do?
Drive the truck, 16mpg at $2.09 a gallon,
or ride the bike, 30mpg at $2.19 a gallon.

Last year I could fill the tank for 5 bucks and change,
today 5 bucks barely filled half.
