Diesel fuel cost

[rickinAZ]

Filled up at Costco yesterday: $2.92/gallon - same as regular. I haven't seen diesel this cheap in a long time. When I bought my Eco in September 2020, diesel fuel was $1.69/gallon, and it was $.20 cheaper than regular.

I paid $3.08 today in Michigan. Sign said $3.74 open roads app discounted it down to $3.08. 87 octane was $3.24

1.82 per litre. Almost the same price as Mid Grade. Usually at this time of year, you can get Premium gas for cheaper than diesel.

I'm pretty sure that's about $5 USD per gallon. That's damn expensive.

Yes, yes it is.

It's up and down lately, which isn't normal for diesel near me, but right now I'm paying $4.69/gallon whereas 87 octane is 3.97/gallon

Damn. Diesel is about 10 cents a gallon more than regular around here. $2.89/ gallon for diesel.

Not sure about diesel at Costco, but regular is $2.47.

Yeah but I'm in a completely different country than you called California. We have a pay to play tax over here.

Costco is an ideal place to buy diesel - cheap, and they turn it over quickly. Problem is most Costco fuel stations don't carry it.

$4.49 at my fav off-brand Bay Area station this morning for B5-20.

(no Bay Area Costcos sell Diesel, but i do use it when traveling out of the area.)

As of today it is $3.959/gallon at Costco near my place. That's up about $0.15 in the past week or so.

Thankfully the Costcos that do have diesel here in WA have B5. There was a Costco that I unwittingly put in some number of gallons of B21 in the Portland area (was fixated on the cost at $3.499 or something like that). Fortunately I caught it before topping off and wasn't empty so it was somewhat watered down and <fingers crossed> did not do too much damage on my fuel system.

My lesson here is to read the label before fueling as the cheap stuff might have more bio material.

$3.00 on reservation which is 10 mins from me. I think its $4.09 off rez

Remember the good old days when diesel was the cheapest fuel you could get...I feel like it would be a lot more popular today if that was still the case. It was also awesome when there was only a 5 cent spread between grades. Now it can exceed a whole dollar each step up. Insanity.

never seen “B21” spec’d anywhere that wasn’t referring to the aircraft.

J**p and VM Motori clearly allow up to 20% BioDiesel in our EcoDs. given that and the fact that BioDiesel (NOT “BioFuel”!) is one if the best lubricants anywhere, you should have nothing to worry about.

B5/B6/B20/B21 labeling is everywhere in the owner's manual for my rig. Semantics aside, the manual is very clear that ">21% (B21) DO NOT USE" (page 356).
