Both are averaging the same price here in West Michigan. Moves around a couple cents below to a couple cents above but averages almost exactly the same to the penny. Different brands have different prices but we can always find several in the $2.50's with the advertised/sign price and then depending on what discount cards etc you have, the price you actually pay may drop another 5 cents to 15 cents/gal.
We have a diesel truck and a couple gas SUV's and our boat also uses gas. The diesel truck is the winner by far! Just got back from 2+ weeks at the Smokies in Tennessee/North Carolina (approx 760 miles each way) and got 13.51 MPG (hand calculated) for the trip with the Dmax crew cab 4X4 pulling our 12,840 lb scale weighed Carriage Carrilite 5th wheel.
