I paid $2.799 for 87 Regular yesterday and the Diesel was $2.399. For many years in the past, Diesel was more expensive than Premium gas. Think the highest I seen Diesel last year was $5.899 and 87 Regular was $4.299. These are at the so-called CutRate stations. Go to Shell, Chevron, 76, etc and expect to pay 20-40 cents more a gallon. What is funny is that the main refindery is only about 100 miles away and we pay more than folks do farther away... havent ever understood that theory before...
