I can't ever recall seeing such a divergence in fuel prices... $2.82 87 octane and $4.25 diesel locally. It's an f350 i use commercially but it's also my daily driver when I'm home. The difference between gas and diesel has never been this much. Even the prices from town to town in the same area are way different. 5.34 diesel in my town, 10 mi away 4.99. You are only a couple hrs south and almost $1 gal cheaper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything comes by truck, most of them diesel. I'm glad my truck takes regular, but the boat uses diesel. Right now its over 7 bucks a gallon at the marina. Ridiculous.

Coworker just got his 2022 mega cab 3500 high output Cummins. He had no troubles getting it, or buying diesel for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
