Lowest price found today here in the San Francisco Bay Area (East Bay), CA,

Regular: $3.89
Mid Grade: $4.01
Premium: $4.11
Diesel: $4.18

My car runs on Diesel,
but I can't understand why it costs even more than gas, especially considering it's simply 'unrefined' fuel. confused1

If gas & fuel prices contine to rise sharply, will you gigging musicians here be raising your prices, or eat the difference?

We pay around $1.50 a litre (thats about $6 a gallon).

By the way Scott, reason for higher diesel pricing has nothing to do with production costs. It is all to do with the almost insatiable demand from India and China for diesel fuel.

Essentially the fuel companies are gouging the rest of us.

The pricing disparity is out here as well.

It's $3.60 a gallon around town ("Redneck Riviera") - FL panhandle. Sadly, at least one gas station at the Orlando airport (fillups for rentals from the Disney World crowd) is at $5.49 a gallon!!! Gouging! OUCH!

In Massachusetts $3.549 per gallon and a jar of Vaseline so it doesn't hurt so much. OUCH it still hurts!! surprised That price is at BJ's Wholesale club, it's at least 7 more cents per gallon at Mobil and Shell.

I will say late last week in conjunction with rewards points you receive for shopping at Stop and Shop a regional grocery chain here in the northeast I paid $2.89 per gallon and the only reason for that I had over 700 points. Every 100 points equals 10 cents per gallon savings. The posted price was $3.59 per gallon. Only problem is now we have to start all over accumulating points. 1 point for every dollar spent.

I just tanked up and I paid $3.69.9 per gal. for 91 octane.

I use Sunoco , and have used the same station and the same gas since 1990 ! smile

I guess no matter what the price gets to be I`ll still use the same.

Our friends in the UK have been paying 5 or 6 + per gal for years , so I guess we are lucky.

What I hate is the rising cost of food , that is getting way out of hand. __IMO !
It would not be so bad , but I`ll go shopping one day and find fresh food , then the next time I go I`ll find the exact same item replaced with a different expiration date. ( ie: X_food exp 13-1-1 now that is gone and replaced with exp. 12-8-1 )

If I have to pay top price for food I want the freshest they have.

For some reason that really ticks me off frown

On a lighter note , we ( us in the US ) are doing better than our poor friends in Japan , so lets all wish them well.

Later ,

Gary

Hi Ian,

$1.11 per litre here in oil-rich Alberta.


Scott: I don't get why diesel is more expensive, it always used to be that diesel was less than gas. More diesel cars on the road these days, I guess.

Now, I thought you guys would be gettin' free gas... laugh

I'm kind of concerned about the mechanic at the corner garage...he told my buddy he couldn't fix his brakes...so he made his horn louder!
