It was $3.89 the other day here but every yahoo with a rice burner was parked at the diesel pumps getting saki. After cruising three stations like that, i finally settled for one that had an open diesel pump and $4.09 a gallon.

I saw this in Round Rock today and had to take a picture. 2.99. Is it me or does diesel seem more expensive in the Blue States

I hate it when that happens! My wife and I both drive diesels and complain about that all the time. Never heard it called "getting saki" but that's HILARIOUS!!!

Went by the local Hess station, Middletown, RI today and it was $3.45, that is pretty good.

Well come on up to Canada where it's 1.339 a litre. That equates to about $4.50 for a US gallon. We're being screwed!

The couple of times I drove to my friend's cottage near Wheatley, ON, I really appreciated the 56 gallon tank I have. No need to fill up in Canada.

$3.029 at the Hess near me.
That $2.799 Marathon price is most likely the no highway tax price. Seems all the near highway Indiana stations advertise like that.

I seem to remember that happening to me in Indiana. I pulled to where the semi's fill up and I needed to enter a DOT number to turn the pump on so I went in and the lady started the pump for me and then the price was with tax. They must have companies with DOT numbers pay taxes later.

You are correct designated trucks in Indiana are exempt from paying fuel taxes and the stations are allowed to advertise that price as long as displayed in "easily read lettering" . To me it is misleading to some degree. I realize they are primarily targeting commercial trucks with their advertising but if someone is not familiar with Indiana it can be irritating or disappointing if you believe getting fuel at a good price. I believe the tax is around 30 cents per gallon if my memory is right.

VI. ADVERTISED OR CURB PRICE OF GASOLINE AND SPECIAL FUEL
The retail merchant may not advertise a price that is different from the pump price required to be displayed on the metered pump.
If a retail merchant advertises special fuel at a price that does not include any gross retail taxes that may be due on the sale of the special fuel, the retail merchant must display in easily read lettering, above or below the advertised price, the words “EXEMPT TRUCKS ONLY”.

In the St.Louis area expect to pay a min of about $3.44 for diesel and $2.33 for regular.

 

[porthole]

On Wednesday the station I had been hitting for fuel was $2.979.
Yesterday (T-day) it was $3.099, I'm guessing for the holiday.

I'll wait to till Saturday or Sunday to see what they do

I paid 3.21 last night in Brandon florida...

 

[jmgratz]

Paid $3.09 for it in Louisiana a couple of days ago. It must have been a mistake cause all of the others around were $3.39. But I took advantage of it. Right now it is $3.23 to $3.29 around Huntsville, TX.

Pittsburgh, PA is $3.69 for diesel and 2.95 for gas. We have a fuel perks program thru one of our grocery stores so I just filled up last night for a whole .69 cents a gallon. They limit the discount to 30 gallons. It is amazing how the state taxes make such a huge difference across state lines. Ohio diesel used to be as much as 70 cents cheaper but now Ohio diesel is 5 to 10 cents more expensive.

Nope no mistake. Off the interstate you can get it cheap. Sams in LC yesterday was $3.12 up cause of the holiday.

First time I've ever filled up the truck for under $75 bucks!

I think OPEC has decided we are finding to much energy (fracking) in the US and it makes them a little nervous. Cut the price and choke off the energy exploration IMHO.
