1.18 here Alli.
OK City and Tulsa have always had some of the best fuel prices in the nation in my experience. Must be because they are in a major oil producing/refining state.
I fill up at Meijer all the time. They are usually the cheapest or the same as other brands and they use the Schaeffer's addative in their diesel fuel
www.schaefferoil.com/products/fuel.html
Meijer has been $1.25 - $1.39 around Grand Rapids, MI all summer long. Out of the 10 or so Meijers around here, one or two will always have cheaper fuel compared to the others. So it pays to shop around. One Meijer station will be $1.25 and another one five minutes away will be $1.39 on the same day. Some stations have been at $1.39 all summer long, others have gone up and down. The best part is the stations that move the most fuel are usually the cheapest. I have all the Meijer stations programed into my cell phone. On the day I need fuel, I start calling around to see who has the lowest price.
Raleigh area $1.19 up :rolleyes:

Great Falls, Flying J at $1.35 others $1.37-$1.48
Montana has very high road taxes like second hightest. Yup come to Montana 46th per/cap income 50th wages paid and high fuel and property tax, but no sales taxes. So any one coming to the 3rd pull of might think of buying any high ticket items here save the sales tax.

$1.40 or so around here, I dont buy the refining thing cause I can look out my window and see several oil rigs in the Santa Barbara Channel and we always have some of the most expensive gas in CA. Maybe its all the chemicals they put in to reduce air pollution at the expense of totally devastating the ground water that makes it so expensive.

Here is Southern California... Most places are selling Diesel for $1.50 to $1.59
I have found a couple of stations, that do a higher volume in diesel, and I have been paying $1.31 per gallon.
By the way, one my recent excursion... Nevada, Utah, Idaho & Montana... the diesel was in the $1.45 range.
1.419 in San Jose, CA.
I saw it at 1.379 near the grapevine last weekend, and as high as 1.59 off 14 near Willow Springs, Edwards AFB.
$1.49 in Sierra Vista, AZ. Been that way for 8 months. 70 miles down the road in Tucson it's $1.21. They claim the increase is because it has to be trucked into the area. Funny, don't remember there being a refinery in Tucson???

^...Illinois - 139.9, KY - 123.9, TN - 129.9. Got fuel in all three states, just today. 35k on the 2nd 2k2 Duramax and getting about 16.5 MPG, empty, with a foot in it hard. Whining and spooling noticeably at 86 - 88 MPH. Classic Rock to my ears.
Fricking speed limiter. I hit 96 MPH today (more than once) and it doesn't go any more. Geesh!
I get it for 1.22 here in Dallas, but have seen it as high as 1.40.
Down from $2.00 to $1.85 here in Kaneohe, HI

I have found a local Food Bag selling it for 1.27 this summer, it recently went up to 1.29. Most of the other stations are high 1.30's.
In the reno are from 1.35 to 1.45. I also gauge the gouge by the differnece between diesel and 87 unleaded. A while back diesel was a few cents higher than regular unleaded. that's bad. now it is about .10 cheaper than unleaded. that's good. :D
AS to the refinery and transport costs, in my previous life when I lived in Californicate, there was a chevron refinery in Richmond. There was a chevron station in spitting distance. Their gas prices were a lot higher than stations 60 miles away. Go figure.

In the LowCountry of S.C. it can vary from 1.189 on the interstate to 1.339 here in town. The thing that p**ses me off is I can buy regular gas for 1.229 at the station that is charging 1.299 for diesel!!

1.33 per gal in central Illinois
After canadian liter and dollar conversion diesel is 1.58$ here. Gas is alot more expensive. Regular is 1.77$ and super is 2.05$! At that rate it's cheaper to run the truck than the car...
$1.41 - $1.84 up here. Funny since the MAPCO refinery is less than 10 miles from here. Supply and demand moves the mighty dollar. The Tesoro in North Pole is 3 cents higher for Diesel than unleaded. Has been all summer because it's a major tourist stop. Geeez!!

1.22/gallon from my heating oil dealer, he has a pump on the side of his building, got a key for it and pump away. billed monthly. plenty of turn over, has all the local tow companys, and supply house accounts.
Raptorrider, There is a Fina at the corner of NW hwy and 35, and then right up the street I filled up for 1.21 at the corner of walnut hille and 35 at a chevron (i think). By my house it is 1.39 but i'm not paying that price.
i have a favorite fuel stop here in charlotte nc. i pay 121.9 per gallon. has been the same since i have had the d/max. at least4 months. this station services dump trucks,construction rigs and the sort. i feel good about the sales volume and repeat coustomers.

At the truck stops on I-70 just east of Columbus,Ohio it has stayed in the $1.10 to $1.30 for almost two years. Right now it is $1.219
That was a big selling point with my Wife. Gas is all over the place. $1.26 to $1.55. And now I should get better then the 12-13.5 MPG I was getting before.
I have been keeping track of the price differents between gas and Diesel for awhile. And Diesel averages about .20 cents less. Great selling point when I drive 35,000 to 45000 miles per year.
It's been $138 to $ 143 for the past two yraes here in Harrisburg PA

Well, I'm living in the extreme northeastern corner of Maryland, commuting through Delaware every day and working in Pennsylvania west of Philly (Kennett Square). Pennsylvania is out of the question at $1.42 to $1.47!! Delaware is better at $1.32 to $1.35, but I've been getting my fuel at an Enroy Farm Market station just around the corner from my apartment in Maryland for $1.29 to $1.31. On the occasional run across the Delaware Memorial Bridge to Jersey, fuel can be gotten at the west end of the bridge (Flying J truckstop) for $1.18 to $1.22, but that's the ONLY cheap thing in Jersey and there's the $3.00 "escape from Jersey" toll on the return trip! :D
Idle_Chatter,
The escape from JERSEY cost tacks .088 cents a gallon on with a 34 gallon tank......With the smaller tank 24 gallons it's a whopping .125 cents a gallon :eek: :eek: Now that right there is enough reason NOT to go to Jersey........ tongue.gif

Houston diesel prices hover around 1.35, but I buy it at a dumpy little truckstop only 5 miles from Livingston on US59 North for $1.16...and believe me, they move the diesel at that place! ;)

Hahaha! You the Man, Mackin!! :D I *do* have my 43 gallon American cross-bed in addition to the 26 gallon factory "shot-glass" tank so I can take on up to 55.5 gallons if I go there "on fumes!" So at $0.10 a gallon cheaper for 50 gallons, I save a whopping $2!! :rolleyes:

Hey Tom
My math says .10 per gallon times 50 gallons is 5 bucks?? The way I look at it with my truck 5 bucks saved equals around 4 plus gallons free at 16 MPG equals about 60+ free miles of driving. If I drive 10 extra miles to get the fuel I still drive 50 miles for free.
FirstDiesel ,
But you forgot it will cost you $3 bucks to get the HELL OUT OF THERE........ LOL
MAC :D ;) :D

Not here in S.C. As much as they tax everything else here, the one thing they have failed to do is charge tolls!! We are getting an new bridge built over the harbor. Needed!!!!! Will cost about 600 million dollars. The holdup was how to pay for it and everytime a politician said a toll they got shot!! smile.gif
The problem is none of them ever figured out the cost that the local governments had to pay amounted to about 1% of the local budget. so a budget cut would pay for it. Instead, the answer?? A increase in the sales tax!!! SCUM!!

I too have been making that Auxtank pay off. I last fueled in Bonners Ferry Idaho $1.35 GAL drove to Edmonton AB via Cranbrook, Lake Louise and Jasper been driving around Edmonton and Sherwood park for the last 2 weeks and hope to make it to Calgary before fueling just enough to get me back to the $1.35 stuff.Diesel goes for about $1.50 US around Alberta. Stu
I have been paying $1.38-1.42 for fuel in the South Bay area of Los Angeles. I have seen fuel as high as $1.60 in the same area. It pays to shop!

1.29 to 1.48 here in Chandler, AZ (Phoenix area) I have only found 1 place in Gilbert that sells it for 1.29. A little out of my way. Next cheapest (at ARCO) justwent from 1.31 to 1.39.

Made a trip to Gainesville Tx this past week, and on the way back stopped at this truck stop (TA some place in Missouri) fuel was 1.11 per gallon. Then I get home and I'm up to 1.34 per gallon.
I live in Northwest Indiana and paid 1.13/gal on the last fillup.
Haven't paid over 1.18 since last winter

Maxxheadroom,
No wonder you put down Central Coast California on your sig. I didn't want to admit I lived in Santa Cruz County either when I used to live in Aptos up until three years ago. What town do you live in? Up until a month ago it was $1.39.9 for about six months, cheapest around for 50 miles that I know of. But just in the last month it has come up to $1.55.9 and unleaded at the same station is $1.57.9. However the Shell and Chevron stations across the street are at $1.65.9. I could never run the cheap gas in my '89 Chevy with a 350 witout it pinging bad going up a grade, had to run 89 octane from the major brands, guess because of the additives they put in.

The price of diesel here in Anchorage has been creeping up over the last couple of months. For a while, it was right around $1.20 and gas was $1.38. Now, diesel is around $1.38 and gas is $1.46. The difference is closing - I wonder why? Still, I'm much better off than I was a year and a half ago. I was then driving a Dodge 3500 V-10, getting winter mileage of 6.8 mpg and paying $1.78 per gallon. OUCH!
diesel can still be purchased for $1.199 in this area but you have to really look for it ... most places 10-15 cents higher :cool:
$1.25 here in SW Oklahoma. The City has good competition. I'll bet they start up everywhere pretty soon though if this Iraq deal keeps going.
