Looks like we'll be going to the US during Christmas. I tried searching, but the search button isn't working and I didn't see the post I was looking for in the 9 pages it lets me look at. Anyone know of a website that gives Diesel or even bio-diesel prices for the US? We'll be heading through NY, PA, MD and DC areas. Mostly 81 and 70 tho. Hopefully someone has a website for it like the gas prices one so we know where to fill up. Diesel prices here in Southern Ontario are .80/litre and hopefully things are cheaper down south. BTW we got the truck running good now (*knocks on wood*) now just looking for some tires and a cap...lol.
Thanks!

$0.80/L ~ $2.54/gal...
Sounds a little steep, about $0.45/gal more expensive than here in NW Iowa where prices have dropped to $2.09/gallon this week.
I've got my fingers crossed we'll get under the $2.00 mark by the end of the month. My pocketbook is getting awfully thin.

www.thecybertruckstop.com/fuelprices.html (http://www.thecybertruckstop.com/fuelprices.html) let's you search by company name.
I can find $1.97USD a gal at the local diamondshamrock.Edited by: quantum mechanic

Excellent! I see a Pilot in Counsil Bluffs, IA at $1.92/gal! I'll have to make it a point to stop there as I go thru this weekend.

I've heard there's pay services that allow fuel prepayment online at a lower rate than it's sold at the pump.

Prepayment services..huh.. I would think it would require a large prepayment tho. That link really helped a lot! Thanks... gives me an idea of where to try and make it to before filling up. Thanks!!!!! Diesel is a bit cheaper down south isn't it? lol Gas and diesel prices are just getting stupid up here and diesel is now more expensive than gas (tho we're still saving as the truck gets way better gas mileage than a gas truck would be...lol) We were at solid 69/litre and then it jumped to like 79-80/litre. Crazy. Maybe you can add those links to the sticky posts up top?
Thanks again!!

Copy and paste it instead of clicking on it. Worked for me that way

Yeah, that $60 fillup is rough every week. I'm getting around 16 mpg. Diesel is about 2.20/gal here in PA
