There's some variation, but the most common prices I saw posted today were:

Regular gas $3.059
Mid-grade Gas $3.199
Premium Gas $3.359
Diesel $3.559

That's on road diesel, of course; don't know about the off road price.

Road diesel $3.819 this weekend here in NY. Regular gas is running around $3.359.

The WSJ has said that gas stocks are high because driving is down. The high gas prices (dunno about diesel) are due to speculation in the commodities market with investors looking for a relatively safe place to put their money after the blowout in the mortgage market. Apparently they're bidding up the price of gasoline and this had led to a pricing disconnect between supply and demand.

I think there's a disconnect between gas and diesel prices............but what do I know?

Bob, Lots of us wonder why diesel is so much more expensive than unleaded regular gas. Diesel is cheaper to refine, has fewer or no expensive additives, doesn't require subsidized alcohol to be blended in.

Best explanation I've heard so far is they charge more for diesel because they can.

Rob, Is that diesel or gas? Either way, dang man that is bordering on outrageous. Do they have a portable defibrillator at the island to help customers get their hearts restarted?

Oh well, we need to get used to it because in a few years we'll be looking back at 2007-2008 as the good ole days when gas was under $5/gal. Anyone heard Hillary or ***** Obama lay out there plan for controlling fuel prices which is a big force toward inflation as it impacts the price of everything else?
