Our gas is $1.76/ gallon and diesle is $2.12/gallon

$2.25 about average for my area.

Gasbuddy.com has fairly accurate pricing as reported by members.

Pretty useful too in many other ways other than just seeing current prices.

Regular is $2.499
Diesel is $2.399
SE Wisconsin, screwed by Big Oil as usual.

Down here Regular is running 1.95.9 to 1.99.9 a gallon 93 octane is 2.49 a gallon and diesel is real close to the 93 octane price.

that's not bad

I got gas today for $1.92

What in the world different does it make ? If you need fuel you will pay what ever it is. I have given up on thinking what the price of fuel is and fill up when necessary. Nothing you or I can do to change this but complain. I see it all the time a person go's around to different gas stations to save a few cents and burns up more fuel looking for what they can save. Just what are they saving? What you pay in Texas doesn't make one bit of different as to what I pay in NY. I pay for my fuel by the month with a gas card, one brand, and don't look at what I paid for a gallon of gas.

Why should it make a difference what the price is for the gas you buy, your just going to pay interest on the card your using anyway unless of course you pay it off every month which most people who use a card don't. Gas prices regardless of location effect everyone.

Not saying there is anything wrong with your approach. What works for you works for you and that's what matters.
As previously mentioned, I use Gasbuddy and get recent pricing for the stations in my area. With a simple glance, I know where the better prices are and from there decide if driving a few miles is worth saving $0.15 per gallon. For fillups, you bet it is. We pay cash (saves more since store/credit prices are on average $0.07 per gallon higher).

That method works for us.
...and no, I do not own stock in Gasbuddy. Just a very useful tool. I planned a 1200 one-way trip and found stations just a mile from the highway that were $0.25 cents less per gallon than the stations near the highway. I won't just pay whatever it is they feel like charging... not when I can save money like that.

I pay it by the month and by doing that they give me a .05 cents a gallon discount. Yes gas prices change by location and I don't like it any better then you. Not a thing you or I can do about it. So we fill up when we need fuel. Its just like taxes which I don't like any better. Now a credit card. I will say I don't carry very much cash on me anymore and 99% of my purchases are paid for with a card. Just pay it at the due date like all my bills which we all have to do and with the computer with a push of a button.

Yes. Exactly right. This has happened a lot in the last year, or so and my jaw dropped a long way the first time I noticed it. On that day the first thing I said was how every buyer of a VW TDI diesel must be laughing out loud. The damn things get 45mpg. Of course now we know their secret; they cheat!

Diesel should be cheaper then gas.
This is the reason they made diesel cars.

It will be cheaper when everyone quits caring about emissions. I remember growing up diesel was always like 30 cents cheaper than gas, but since all these environmental groups started coming around early in the millennium we have saw nothing but prices soar.

Do you miss leaded fuel? Along with the return of the higher emissions of years ago, you favor leaded fuel too? I"m just curious.

I for one am glad for the emission controls. Personally I'd like to see gas prices go up about $2.00 a gallon and keep the price at $4.00 a gallon until March.

Why would you want it to go to $4.00 a gallon?

Just through the winter months if that gives you a hint, being polite.
