Have diesel prices dropped below that of gasoline?

I have a new diesel can. I need to fill it up, so I'll check, but haven't noticed low-sulphur diesel being lower than regular gas anywhere.

I have seen it bouncing around below or a little above the cost of gas here lately, western Illinois. We just took a trip to Alabama and the most expensive gas we saw is here at home. Roughly 80 cents a gallon more here than the cheapest we got it for.

Pump price for diesel has been cheaper than 87 octane gas for several weeks here.

On my drive along I30 today, the spread between diesel and regular varied at the same stores from 5-40 cents. Cheapest diesel was 2.99. This was 100% in Texas.

Diesel is higher here in Al. than gasoline and has been for a long time.
I can remember as a kid, Diesel was always cheaper than gasoline.

Yes, there used to be a large transatlantic trade in excess US diesel going east to Europe, and excess European gasoline coming back. Then refineRie's improved their catalysts, and tweaked their outputs to better match local markets. I do not think diesel will ever be routinely cheaper on a BTU basis again, but who knows what the impact of electrification will be?

All the best,

Diesel is still easily $.50+ higher everywhere I see - Central NY region

Yep.

We LOVE the trailer pulling performance of our diesel, but the initial costs, service hassle/cost, and fuel costs we have experienced will have us considering gas on our next truck.

I still think diesel is worth it, especially when you see the towing differences.

I have seen diesel at or below regular unleaded at some stations, although it is not the norm.

My 1st diesel was a POS 1991 Dodge. The new model Cummings yielded 180 hp and she got 24 mpg with the tailgate down on the open road. Fuel was $0.55 a gallon.
