Regular gasoline priced higher than diesel

[hedgehopper]

Today, in Denver, I saw something I haven't seen for a long time: gasoline more expensive than diesel fuel. Regular gasoline was $3.789 and diesel was $3.669. Has anyone seen this anywhere else?

Not the case anymore. Diesel is now more expensive to refine than gasoline because of the ultra low sulfur content.

We're in the early stages of our truck fleet converting to natural gas for the cost savings. May be wishful thinking on my part but I have some small hope that as this progresses the price of diesel will once again be lower than regular 87 octane on average. It'll take a few years, but I plan to hang on to this truck for quite some time.

Here in Perth, Western Australia, Gas is about $1.40/ltr and Diesel $1.50/ltr.
Diesel is always 12-15 cents a litre more.

I saw that too, but I'm just south of you in Colorado Springs.

I just got back from house hunting in VA and gas there was $2.99 at Sams! Then came back here and it's around 3.79. I don't remember what diesel was in VA.

Well try Maine. Crossed the border from New Hampshire and diesel was $4.20 a gal. All along the southern coast OF MAINE,As soon as I passed Portland it was $3.78 a gal. Was told by the state that they can charge anything the want.So beware of the gouging in southern Maine.

I was at a station in April along I 5, about 35 miles north of the Grapevine, and gas was $5.09, while diesel was a reasonable $3.85. Both stations at that freeway exit where having a "Gas War" of sorts, and charging $5.09 for regular. I took a picture too!

I filled up about 15 miles further north at a T/A Mobil gas station for close to $4.00 per gallon.

Gas being more than diesel I believe is just a regional anomaly.

It won't last.
