Not too terrible, US$4.59/gal. In my area today, we're going from around US$3.95 to US$4.45, but premium unleaded is US$3.77 to US$4.09 so still more for kerosene than petrol.

Wow, I know folks would love for that inversion to be taking place here.

SuperPremium is $3.83 here, while Diesel sits at $4.54 a gallon.

Same here in Eastern Texas. Today it fell to $3.98. Isn't it a sad state of affairs when we get excited over diesel falling below the $4.00 threshold. It should be half that much. Hopefully, this downward turn in price will continue.

There is a wide disparity in diesel prices here in the Columbus area, currently ranging from a low of $4.12 to a high of $4.69 per gallon. I check diesel prices at our local gasbuddy.com site before I fill up. With a 26 gallon fill up, that's about a $15 difference, which can really add up over time. And why give the guys who won't bring down their prices the business?
