The Coach is parked, awaiting our sojourn south later this fall, so I haven't paid much attention to prices either. However, we did take the car to visit friends about an hour's drive away yesterday, and I too noticed that diesel was less expensive than regular gas. It is $.04 per liter, or about $.11 a gal less, but at $1.30 per leter, which translates to above $5.00 a gallon, who really cares. We have gas prce regulation here in Nova Scotia, so in the past week we saw gas drop 1 cent/L last Thursday, go up 12 cent/L Friday on Ike news, and drop 9/L yesterday, while oil has dropped to below $95/barrel. Besides, we import zero oil/gas/LNG/etc from the US, yet our prices at the pumps went up higher and are staying there.
Maybe it is the oil companies that our governments should be looking at taking over instead of the financial companies recently bailed out.

Our lowest Gas has increased somewhere around 20 cents to 3.66 in the last week. The Diesel is holding steady with the lowest costing 3.87. Kroger is the lowest right now for both, with Wal-Mart a close second. Since we've been the only town with electricity in the area, I'm surprised gas hasn't increased more. Electricity is coming on fast in the surrounding towns, so its going to be interesting to see what happens to the price in another week.

Boy we haven't seen that in a long time - diesel is about 80 cents more than regular gas here in Spokane, WA. Diesel at the $4.40 to $$4.50 range & regular at $3.60 to $3.70. I even saw one station with their diesel still at $5.29 this morning - I bet they don't sell much of it at that price!

Passed one place in Milwaukee yesterday with regular (87) at $4.12! Another place today in West Allis (nearby suburb) was $3.95. Go figure.

In Lubbock,TX Diesel Is 3.77 per Gal and Regular Gas 3.48 per Gal. Still way too high, but less than we paid in Colorado where Diesel is 4.19 a gallon. In a Diesel Pusher it is not hard to put $ 500 in the tank.
