So what's up with the price of diesel fuel? In my area it goes up each day and today I saw $4.45 a gallon. I don't believe I have ever seen it much higher than this!!! It's practically one dollar...
Heating oil in the northeast, that's why you're seeing that spike. The harsh winter we're experiencing isn't helping either. But everywhere else in the US (except Cali) isn't seeing prices that high. Home heating oil is very popular in the northeast, but much the rest of the country tends to rely on Electric, Propane or Natural gas.
