General DieselDiscussion about diesels in general. All brands are welcome, please refrain from brand wars. Discussions about types of diesel fuel also go here.
The Flying J in Pearl, MS. dropped again today to 3.95 for #2 and 3.37 for regular. NOPE, not bragging... it's still outrageous! It's certainly "better" than the high I paid of 4.76 just a short while ago.

What? You can buy diesel at Wally World?! Man, I wish they'd put station here.... especially if it's that cheap! No fuel stations at the Wally Worlds here....
You can only get it at one of the Wally Worlds in town. Sam's Club sells it too, but the funny thing is that it's about a penny more expensive than Wally World, AND you have to be a member!

Like I said, I'll believe this gal, when I see the price of #2 plummet back down to the $2 range.

... Diesel's back below gas where it should be ...
What principle mandates that the cost of gasoline should be more then Diesel fuel?

The fact that it is less refined than gasoline and should therefore cost less to produce?
Since they both come out of pretty much the same cracking tower at the same time, how can one be more costly to produce than the other? Somebody from a refinery want to clarify this?
That said, when did the cost of production ever determine the retail price? The retail price of a commodity is set by whatever the market will bear.
