Re: Diesel prices
I'm not sure what it is around here, but the last I filled up my truck, it was $3.25/gallon. That was just before Christmas. It's probably higher now. I've been buying and running straight No. 1 diesel for the winter now, and I find that is always more expensive then the usual winter blended fuel that gas stations have on hand. I used to run the winter blends until I had some gelling issues one winter. Now I don't even take the chance. The winter blends are really no comparison to straight No. 1, even when you add in anti-gel. And who wants to be stuck on the side of the road in sub-zero temps, with fueling issues? I'd rather spend a little more and rest assured I won't have any problems. Not all run of the mill winter blends are created equal! Unfortunately, many gas stations around here do not sell straight No. 1. I have to go to a fairly large local truck stop to get it.
