Diesel I believe around here is in the $2.25 - $2.30 / gal range. I just paid $2.26 the other day for regular unleaded. Those prices have probably gone up in the past few days.

Here in Ok, 87 octane is running anywhere from 1.66 to 1.73. last I noticed, diesel was 2.02. If you buy a gift card @ walmart, you can take another 3 cents off at the murphy oil station out front.

I am the winner so far. I pay $2.529 per gal. for diesel. Reg. unleaded is $2.329 here at most places. You can get it at Costco for $2.159. I am about to get a new chip truck soon. Although I always got diesels, I am thinking I would be better off buying a gas engine. Especially since I drive less than 12K miles a year.

Oil Patch, Edmonton, Alberta for now.....
Here in Toronto I paid 74.1 cents per litre which with the exchange comes to about US$2.30 per US gallon. Would have been quite a bit cheaper a couple of years ago in US $ but our $ is very high against the greenback. Thanks Wubya for making my impending US vacation a lot cheaper!

Diesel is at $2.29, down from $2.34, but up from $2.26. Prices are on a yo-yo from day to day. 87 is running right around $2.06, w/ super at $2.25.

Diesel has done nothing but climb since I bought my new truck in June. Go figure.:rolleyes:

RFGs suck to pay for. Cleaner fuel is good though. Also good for anyone in the analytical chem biz selling equipent for total Sulfur in gasolines and diesel fuel with a sensitivity of ppb (parts per billion).

Gas is expensive here. That is ok. I like in a country that is less than half the size of the state I used to live in. I would rather pay $4/gallon in Germany with a fuel efficient auto than $2 in Texas with a gas guzzlin' F350.

I paid €1.09 per liter yesterday. The $$ is so weak now that it comes to quite a few $$/gal. Good days to be earnin €;)

Koa, I own both gas and diesel rigs. Longevity of gasoline engines is excellent nowadays but diesels are still champs and even with higher diesel prices the greater energy available in diesel/efficiency of the diesel engines make the diesels cheaper to operate. I don't envy you your decision.:)

So Newfie, you finally admitted you are the cause of all these rising diesel prices. :laugh:

Most likely I will end up with another diesel. Dealing on a new F550 chip truck with a dealer in VA right now. We are real close in price, only about a $1000 apart., started out around $2500 apart. I am looking into these kits that let you run the diesels on filtered waste vegetable oil that you can get from restaurants. MA has a company that will convert your truck to run both for $800. Your fuel will then cost you less than a $1 a gal.

They did an article in the paper a couple of weeks ago about those kits for diesel engines which allow you to burn waste veggie oil. I have 1 main concern though, how does that affect your warranty?
