E320 CDI
Filled there yesterday. With the discount on my Fry's card, net was 3.259.
By the way, thank you Gas Buddy.

I noticed today that the price for diesel fuel dropped to below the price of regular 87 octane gasoline. The particular station I saw had it for 2¢ cheaper than 87 octane and 22¢ less than 91 octane.
Looking on Gasbuddy.com, the cheapest diesel in the Phoenix area is $3.35/gallon while the cheapest 87 octane is $3.53 and 91 octane $3.73.
A quick calculation based on 15,000 miles/yr and an average of 28.5 MPG (what the DIS is showing Im getting) vs 21 MPG (what my old E320 was getting) comes out to a savings of $900/year on fuel. Pretty nice! Hopefully diesel prices stay low.
