Diesel prices in your area?

Paid $2.53 for both diesel and regular unleaded yesterday at Walmart in Sealy.

Didn't know Walmart sold gas. Closest I've seen is the occasional Sam's Club.

Same price for each in my area.... $2.64. Would have more closely matched rigustafson price but we got a 10 cent a gallon fuel tax increase this year.

This morning I got diesel for $2.539 at the pump but the sign at the road had $2.599, so it must have gone down today
Regular gas was $2.489.

Most of the Super Walmarts have a Murphy gas station on property in this area. They got down as low as $2.34, for diesel, a few weeks ago and stayed at $2.45 for a long time.

$1.139 for road diesel and $1.189 for 87 octane . Still doesn't pay to drive a diesel in light duty applications .

I'm confused- if road diesel is actually cheaper than gas, and you get better mileage with a diesel, by a good factor, why doesn't a diesel, in say an auto, make sense? Most diesel autos are delivering 40-50 mpg, compared to 30 for gas, as far as I have read. And diesel torque is good.

Just had 200 gallons of off-road diesel delivered, $2.29/gallon.

It was 15 cents cheaper than non ethanol regular today

Because a tractor working in a HD application at 70,80,90% of full power constantly for hours on end. Is a different than light duty applications where the engine makes 20,30 or 40 % of it's rated power for hours or is used in intermittent putting around applications.
Have you looked at the Nebraska tractor tests for the same diesel operating at 100% power vs 50% power ? The diesel efficiency drops to less than a gasoline engine's efficiency.
