I noticed the same thing around here... runs rougher... crappy mileage...

On the bright side, Old Navy, You should see ULSD at the Murphys sometime in the near future, as our Murphys is pumping it here in Ozark.
What is the price of the ULSD in Ozark, I paid $2.249 at Sikeston MO for the ULSD.

I recently took a visit to a station that had both LSD and ULSD.

LSD was $2.39.
ULSD was $2.39.

Something tells me the whole story about ULSD being more expensive at the pump is...well... bunk.

Of course I picked up the ULSD pump. ;)

$2.339 last week, but it may be down a bit since gas went down this week...

Same here in my area of NC as well. Runs rough, lower mileage, and 2 clogged fuel filters to boot. I've flat out sworn off Shell.
