Yeah, I'm in Minnesota, Land Of 10000 Mandates.  I don't use diesel fuel, I just happened one day to notice the price was somewhere around $2.89 per gallon when regular gasoline at the same place was somewhere around maybe $2.49.  
 This was a year or so back, and I was surprised.  Last I knew, diesel was always cheaper than gasoline.  

 I was getting nervous when the state was talking about mandatory E20 in the next year or two.  That one bothered me because none of the vehicles I own is approved for anything beyond E10.  I especially don't want to run my boat on E-anything, let alone E20.  I think that idea fizzled, thankfully.  

When the biodeisel first hit the market our trucks had alot of trouble with it, the additives wern't right for the product. The additive market for winter driving finely caught up. Combined with a bad run of the fuel all kinds of trouble was arrising for the first year or so of Bio production. They now seem to have the proccess right but the price will always remain high for private highway use. The are exceptions here in Minnesota for over the road trucks and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Association) is here for those truckers. But not us private deisel drivers. So our only savior is the fact that with Biodeisel and a computor chip I can get 23 MPG from a 3/4 HD truck, which beats 10-12 which is what the gas models in the same size truck are getting. I can also dial up to 500 HP and over 1000 Ft. Lbs. of torgue and still get 16 MPG. And pulling a capacity load I can still get 16-20 MPG I just have to keep the RPM below 2000 which is an excrusiatingly slow 67 MPH!!

I've seen it for $1.85/gallon in our area.  Never thought that price would ever look cheap.

It's down to $1.85 here now, too.

Wednesday they went around and boosted the price back up to $2.05.  But a day later it's down to $2.03.  Tuesday I filled up at Sam's club and paid $1.80 (member price).

 Why do they always seem to boost the price by $0.20/per gallon in one shot, but SLOWLY slide down a penny or so a time over a couple weeks?

Prices are "sticky downward". Typically when a market has shown it can/will bear a certain price point, comming down from that price wil be as slow as competition and the market will allow.

$2.05 in New Castle, DE. today.

$2.39 today for regular is So Cal. I think we are getting ripped off. Why do we pay more here?

[galen]

Because you have a higher concentration of cars that have to burn a cleaner gas.  $1.82

[In Canada eh]

Gombo,

    I would love to see 2.39 a gallon, here in SW Ontario its at 85 cents a litre or $3.23 a US gallon

Besides that, my question is why does every station in the metro area all raise their prices by the exact same aboutn within hours?  I know every station in town doesn't get new gas the same day.  Isn't that some sort of price fixing?

[Brewman]

 They raise the price as soon as they get word that the price of the next shipment is going higher.  They all seem to rush to the same price, though.  
 When Jesse Ventura was governor here, he pushed thru a law that requires all places that sell gas to put a minimum markup on it.  So prices around here really tend to shadow each other.  And no selling at or below cost.

What are your current gasoline prices (per gallon or liter).  
Around here if you look hard you can find $1.95 but $1.99 is common.

What a difference 3 months make.  If you look real hard you might find gas for $2.65 per gallon. I saw some for $2.76 this morning, too.

What that is per litre I'll need help from our northern (or anyone else who buys gas by the litre) friends.

It's spring, and with it comes the dreaded driving season demand excuse to jack the prices.  

I think I paid $2.65 this morning.  That'd be about $.67 per litre.  

[Pathfinder]

our gas price went up to $1.16 a litre   a couple days ago  and the store just across the border which Canada supplies is at $2.38 a Gal.  

so basically we are paying about  $4.30 a Gal Cdn which converts to about $3.77US  thats something to complain about
