I filled up in California twice in last 2 days and it was
$2.49 for B20
$2.57 for diesel
With gasbuddy you can plan your fueling without paying the high prices some downtown stations want.
Couple more facts you need to consider.
1. bigger tanks don't always let you use the capacity. I had 10 gallons in 50 gal tank and run out on steep grade.
2. use what you have in factory tank. I don't hesitate to drive with "0 to empty" as I experienced there is always extra reserve and often it will go for 20 miles.
With diesel you don't really want to run dry as that damage some injector, but carrying 5 gall can gives you "mental reserve" to stretch the tank reserve.
