Originally posted by Parallax It's 40% higher here. Gas this morning (87 octane, 10% ETOH) was $2.48 and Diesel was $3.48. There's more of a difference in this part of the country in the Winter than in Summer or other regions as in the Winter it's a blend o #1 and #2, but even in summer it's about 20% higher. I don't drive my truck very often so when we got back from our last trip I had a little less than half a tank of straight #2. I topped it off with #1 so if I didn't get around to driving it again until the dead of Winter I'd have a blend. Cost of straight #1?

$4.68 per gallon.
When I bought the Ram in 2001 diesel was cheaper than regular. Not long after it began to climb, eventually becoming more expensive than premium gas.
What?
Diesel is less refined than gasoline. So why are they gouging us so much?
Still, I like my Cummins powered Ram!
All loaded up and goin' racin' The truck, camper, trailer with race car, spares and fuel grossed out at just about 22,000 lbs. And the Cummins didn't even breathe hard.

On our way back down from Slate Peak, the highest place you can drive to in Washington State at 8,000 feet.
Zoe liked it too. Dogs love trucks!
