Like most (all?) of us in the States, I have been paying 10-20% more for diesel the past 6-8 months or so. Even with the price difference I feel that I still came out ahead as I get 40% better mpg than my old suv.

Finally, today I paid less for diesel (2.43) than regular. Regular has gone up over 40 cents in the past month. I don't know if it was the mild winter (at least through Jan.) or some other factor but diesel, so far, has not been effected by the increase per barrel of crude.

I knew I was a genius for buying the CRD, I just had to wait.

For sure....diesel prices stay pretty flat year round here.

The gap between RUG and diesel is now about 20 cents per gallon, with diesel being higher. RUG has increased at a faster rate than diesel.

Around here....diesel rises as well. Gone up about 20-30 cents per gallon in the past couple of weeks.

There is a Quick Trip (about 12 miles away) that almost always is cheaper than anyone else in our area. I went in the U-Gas by our house and ask why they can't at least match the QT.

We had one day last month that diesel was cheaper than gas and a few weeks of only 10 cents difference. Were back to 20 to 25 cents difference and not in our favor.

For nearly 10 years diesel was cheaper than gas out here. Just one month after I bought my CRD, diesel has been higher than gas ever since! :roll:

Sucks don't it. Makes me wish I had said no to wife and keep her in the Jetta TDI we traded in for the CRD. :roll:
