I had to refill the truck in the way home from the airport Tuesday and saw this. Right down the street gas was even cheaper, but diesel was the same .

Anyone else seeing this?

Not around here. Gas prices went way up after the hurricane in Texas, but diesel didn’t change much. For a while diesel was cheaper than gas.

Overall distribution similar here in the Midwest, but about $0.20 cheaper per gallon. Maybe changing to winter formula making it worse?

In my area, the average price of diesel for the last 2 months has been around $2.70.
Which is about the same as premium gasoline.

I just finished (last week) a trip to the midwest (Colorado Springs) and from the east coast and back the prices varied from 2.49 (cheapest) to 3.07 (highest), some times within the same State. Today in MD the cheapest is 2.69.

Central Connecticut I paid $2.57 for diesel. But there is a wide range - some stations are over $3.00.

Been consistently around $2.55 since the hurricane hit Texas here in central Georgia! Was down as low as $1.95 per gallon before hurricane Harvey. :roll:

We were as low as 2.29 until the hurricanes, went to 2.49 and stayed there afterwards.
This is average low at regular stations, not wallymart type discount stations.
Some franchise places are 30 cents higher in areas, but none cheaper.

I've not bothered looking at 'gas' prices in forever.
:wink:

Diesel is about $2.75 right down the road here in NC. Premium is between $2.95 and $3.15.

Diesel around here was 2.699 today. (Oregon Coast)
Regular gas was 2.449
Premium 2.799

Diesel prices usually go up in the cold months where more people heat with kerosene / diesel.

About $3 here, makes me question my sanity as a diesel nut as the price is always high here. I'm not complaining when I cruise over the big grades at 2,000 rpms when the gassers are screaming :JEEPIN:

This is my issue, its been close to $3 here in Utah for a while, so its not the actual price that irritates me. What I am annoyed about is how much more it costs me than 87 Octane gasoline. Its basically as cheap to drive my F150 that averages 17-18 MPG, and the Jeep doesnt have a torque advantage over the Ecoboost.

I think someone else is using his chair now?

Fuel prices went up in North FL after TX got hit by hurricane and FL by Irma by about $0.40 per gallon and have dropped back about $0.25 per gallon since then. Regular (87 octane, none of that silly 84 octane crap) is now about $2.40 and diesel about $2.60 with premium gasoline a bit over $3.00.

Fuel prices often don't make sense. Ex. local Shell station at one point, pre hurricanes, selling diesel at $2.29 and BP, a couple of hundred yards up the road, trying to get $2.69.

Generally diesel around here goes up in winter as those that heat with fuel oil in the winter cut into supply. Don't forget Federal tax of diesel is a bit more per gallon than gasoline.

For those of you, you know who you are, that just HAVE to blame former POTUS Obama for everything please note that the biggest reason for diesel costing more than regular gasoline is the ultra low sulphur mandate implemented by the George Walker Bush administration. IMHO a mandate that was needed for clean air which I for one like as opposed to the really stupid ethanol mandate for gasoline passed by Congress and signed by that same George Walker Bush.

In my lifetime, fuel prices have been largely independent of political influence, with the possible exceptions of Nixon's EPA, and Carter's DOE.

Where Did Our Distillate Go? Stocks Low as Heating Oil Season Arrives
Monday, 11/13/2017Published by: Housley Carr


U.S. inventories of distillate — especially ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) and heating oil — are at their lowest pre-winter level in three years after falling during the summer months for the first time since inventory records started being measured in 1982. Rising diesel exports are one culprit; another is the shutdown of a number of Gulf Coast refineries during and immediately after Hurricane Harvey. The good news is that distillate prices have been increasing, as have the margins for refining crude oil into distillate — both encouraging refineries to ramp up their diesel/heating oil production.

For most of 2017 — with the month after Hurricane Harvey hit the western Gulf Coast being a notable exception — U.S. distillate production has been at or near record levels; according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), through the last week of October, production of ULSD and other distillate has averaged 4.94 million barrels/day (MMb/d) this year, up 3.6% from the same 10-month period last year. But despite the fact that U.S. distillate production is up — and finally back to pre-Harvey levels of more than 5 MMb/d as of the week ending October 27 — distillate inventories, which had been riding high through 2016, have been tumbling for several months in 2017, and are nearing their lowest levels of the past five years.


Most startling of all is that in 2017 distillate stocks fell during the summer months for the first time since EIA started tracking distillate inventories in 1982. Normally, summer is the time to be building distillate inventories in anticipation of the coming winter heating season, not whittling them down. During the summer of 2016, distillate stocks increased by more than 8%, from just under 151 MMbbl to just over 163 MMbbl, and the summer before that (2015), they were up almost 12%. But in the summer of 2017, distillate stockpiles fell by more than 9%, from 152 MMbbl to 138 MMbbl, and by the last week of October they were down another 9 MMbbl to only 129 MMbbl — their lowest pre-winter level in three years.

There are a few reasons for all this, but much of the blame (if that’s the word) goes to U.S. distillate exports. Distillate exports have been on a tear, averaging more than 1.1 MMb/d — eight times their 2005 pace — in 2016 and again so far in 2017. In October, after a down month for exports in September because of Harvey, distillate exports averaged more than 1.5 MMb/d and hit an all-time high of nearly 1.7 MMb/d the week ending October 27. So far in 2017, a record 28% of U.S. distillate production has been exported, up from 24% in both 2015 and 2016 and only 16% in 2010. Exports to Latin America (led by Mexico and Brazil) dominate, accounting for well over half of total exports in recent months, trailed by Europe and Canada.

Have no idea why, here in central GA diesel has jumped from $2.29 to $2.69 in recent days. :shock:
Glad I filled up the Jeep and the Dodge Cummins diesel before the prices increased.
Driving the Dodge gasser now most everyday since gas is only $2.19 :roll:

Funny, we saw an almost exactly-similar jump here this past week: $2.19/gallon to $2.56/gallon. No idea why other than the possibility of Winter fuel supply, but we didn't see a jump like this last year at this time.
