Default 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.

Typically, my truck runs strictly on red fuel. Absolutely no comparison to the blended fuel available at most pumps. My truck starts easier, idles smoother, quieter, and my Butt-o-Meter tells me it pulls harder. Regardless of season or temps, I run Howes conditioner.
