In the past two weeks, diesel has shot up about thirty cents per gallon, with gasoline climbing but not nearly at that rate. The Valero in Redwood City now wants $3.13 per gallon for diesel, and wants $2.89 a gallon for 91 octane. Everywhere I've been in the bay area has AT LEAST a fifteen to twenty cent difference in diesel over premium. Personally, I'm licking my chops. If this continues, there's going to be some CHEAP diesel duallies to be had, as the triton v10 doesn't do a bunch worse than the powerchokes on an empty truck (and face it, most toys around here run empty).
