Sixty miles north of New York City where I am, regular is at $3.42 and diesel is at $4.39. The gap between diesel and premium, which for years hereabouts has been no more than 10 cents, has skyrocketed to about 50 cents in the last 6 weeks. No one seems to know why, either. We don't have as many diesel pickups as in more rural places but we have lots of Mercedes diesels here, and lots of people with big home emergency generators that run on diesel, and lots of diesel-powered construction and wood-chipping equipment.

For what it's worth, msn.com had a thing in their The Economy section. This is how they think gasoline prices will affect most people. They will scrimp on things but drive about the same as they do now until it hits $4.00/gallon. Then they start planning trips carefully, using the station car to run errands and shop instead of the S-Moo-Vee. And at $5.00 per gallon, they vote all the incumbents in Congress out of office.

the reason diesel is more expensive than gas is simply due to the over regulation of it's exhaust. first of all it's the byproduct of the refineing process. it was a lot cheaper to manf. diesel than gas but now thanks to the tree hugging enviro's., now
it cost more to refine, plus the gov't. put more stringent exhaust regulations on
diesel.
also some states like ca. have even stricter regs. so the oil co. has to add more cost
to the refineing process. and so does ny, but not like ca's. so there's another set of
regs. to comply with, and on and on.

We own the government who listens to the tree hugging environs.....Maybe part of this is that we're finding out (amongst other things) that total lack of energy foresight and excessive government regulation costs $$$$$$. We can fix it.

Vote 'em out !

3.19 for unleaded.
If anybody has acess to a Flying J, get their discount card. Dosn'e cost anything, and you get .10 off a gallon. And if you buy stuff in their store the discount goes up.

Wow. You guys have got it REALLY LUCKY! I pay 1.95($3.06!!) euros for a litre! thats roughly $12.24 for a gallon..... but then again we have MUCH more economic cars(3 litres for a 100km= less than a gallon for 62.14 miles)
