$1.76 last night at QT in Kansas City. About $0.80 more for diesel but I didn't really look hard as I wasn't in the truck.

We need a new choice for the poll. Something like...
O The price of Grey Poupon has a larger affect.
 
Looks like a great time to hit the road...especially if you get away from the West Coast.
 
Gas in western Massachusetts is $2.45 and Diesel around $2.95. My 2.8 Duramax gets me 24 mpg with the camper so I feel okay... beats my Taco at 18 mpg. We are still in the workforce so are stuck to high seasons... but soon we will be allowed to travel in winter....south! A snowbird!
 
Filled up 1/11/19 $2.99 in Bowman,CA - 4 months ago it was hovering around $3.70 costing me about $17.00 more per tank !!

I just paid 3.09 for diesel today. No line which is odd since thats about forty cents cheaper than the next cheapest place.
 
Last week in Laughlin NV, the station in the middle of the casino strip was $3.159 for regular, and almost directly on the opposite side of the Colorado river in Bullhead AZ, the price was $2.159.

...................since I filled up the tractor this morning. Diesel is $3.69
Have you looked into dyed or red diesel ? You save on the taxes provided you're using it for farm or off road use.

Yes, I have but too far to drive to be convenient and we don't use that much. Thanks for the reminder.
