Welcome to the forum Mike.

I fueled my 2015 Silverado 2500 6.0l gasser yesterday with E85 like I have for two years. $1.11 per gallon. I average 10 mpg on the stuff, which equates to 11 cents a mile right now.

I just filled my semi truck tonight with diesel for $2.89. Now if I had a diesel pickup, it would have to average over 26 mpg just to break even with my 3/4 ton cost per mile on E85. I have never seen a 3/4 ton diesel truck “average” 26 mpg.

I agree that is why I traded my diesel for a gasser this year. Between the extra cost of Diesel engines upfront then cost of fuel and cost of maintenance I also,think I am coming out ahead.

HEY !! Filled up for $2.77 this morning. It was $2.95 when I drove by the station last night coming home from work. I guess my question is being answered.

It has overall dropped 10-15 cents in the last couple weeks.

So I suppose the general answer for most of us is yes, Diesel will and has been coming down!

Same down here in ny. Price spread is from 3.35 to 3.15 within blocks

I wish it was that low here. Still 1.75 and gas has dropped. Cost wise im running gas now at 2.43 a gallon.

[BuzzWolfAR]

Gas here is 1.98 and diesel 2.69. Diesel has dropped $.50 in the last few weeks.

I just returned home. Made a quick trip check on our Eastern WA property. We received a bill for electricity 3 X normal. I swear I shut the living room fireplace off before I left last time! It is off now!

Wow, 18-20 degrees. The bedroom fireplace, along with the mattress pad heater, struggled to keep me from being an icicle.

Regular gas ranged from $3.09 to 3.69 which is about thirty cents below this summer’s prices. There was one outlier, a rural co-op had $1.99 which is the first time I have seen it that low in over a year.

Diesel - $3.39 to 3.99 which tracks with what I have seen for over a year both here in Western WA and in AZ.

You just can't tow gas like you can diesel. 20% premium is not bad. if they get up there ar 40% + premium, then things are different.


btw. Saw a post by a trucker where big outfits negotiate pricing with suppliers and truckers are paying for diesel at well over a $1 discount per gallon pumped. Anyone ever thought of grouping together to drive discounts?

Has here and everywhere I have driven, so thats good for me anyway! We have gas in the 2.25-2.35 range now.. Diesel in the 2.88-2.99 range.

My Poor son goes through about 60 bucks in diesel a day between his truck and welder and works 7 days a week.. 5-7 cents a gallon one way or the other makes a impact on him. Glad to see it coming down for him!

I live in Mtn Home. Love the diesel price now.

[TheWolfPaq82]

Got it for $2.77 this morning. Some stations are still holding strong to $3.15/gal, but most are dropping now. Still not close to what I was paying last winter, but it's getting a little better.

Thought I'd refresh and bring this thread into the new year

Diesel price at Murphys (Walmart) at Flour Bluff (Corpus Christi) Texas was $2.599
four hours ago.
