US Diesel Average > $4/gallon

Wow. I thought that was mostly a local phenomenon.

diesel prices rose to a new record above $4 a gallon, and gas prices remained high. Diesel, used to transport the vast majority of the nation's goods, rose 1.3 cents to a national average of $4.002 a gallon Monday, according to AAA and the Oil Price Information Service.


Link. Diesel is currently averaging about .70 higher than gasoline, which is also fairly new terrain. A lot of things changing very quickly. Hard to tell how it affects our business- it's definitely not all roses around here, as the race to develop and claim feedstock is hot and heavy.

Informal survey... like we were discussing the other night, the cheapest diesel no. 2 here in West LA is $4.05/gallon. There are a few notorious gas stations, mostly in the Valley near freeway exits/industrial zones where trucks are frequent, that are charging upwards of $4.30, $4.40/gallon.

B99 at Conserve Fuel in Brentwood is $4.179 per.

If anyone's curious, there is a remarkably comprehensive site charting SoCal fuel prices here: http://www.losangelesgasprices.com/
