We're right around $3.25-3.30 for diesel and 91 octane gasoline which goes in the wrx. I haven't purchased regular 87 in so long I just look at the bottom number on the sign.

bottom 2 numbers are the only important ones.. GTI gets premium, and the diesels gets, well.. diesel.. both prices at the bottom of the sign..

Actually saw a no-name brand for $3.019 a gallon, cash. $3.099 credit.

But was told years ago by an old diesel mechanic to stick with the same fuel and minimize my fuel system prices. Hasn't failed yet. So I pay a few cents more.

Was waiting for fuel to rise with increased summer usage and someone using the Gulf of Mexico oil spill as an excuse to jack up the price.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool with summer here. Jimmy.

Central North Carolina

Low grade unleaded 2.40-2.50 gal.
Diesel 2.90-3.00 gal.

I too am surprised it has gone down, instead of up.

Diesel has stayed steady around $3.00 for quite a while here.
Gas fluctuates around here, and gets within 0.05-0.10 of diesel cost often.

Before ULSD, when i didn't own a diesel - diesel fuel was ALWAYS cheaper than low grade unleaded.

Put some gas in my van today... $40 at $1.143/L got me less than half a tank. That will get me around 250-300km..  :-\

enough boost is when you have 3 dimple marks in the hood from the valve cover nuts..  ;D

Catlin, it may be the cheapest station around, but I'm saying you paid the most of the people who posted $3 / gal
