Jeff. There is only one station in the area, that I know of, that sells red diesel. It also sells race fuel. There are probably more that I don't know about. You will be fined bit time if caught putting red diesel in your vehicle, since it's only supposed to be used in farm equipment. I don't know if it can be used in industrial machines or not.

Merv, I don't think I have ever seen it at any pumps in socal, never paying any attention. Out in the farming community over the hill should be readily available. I hear its cheep, half the price as road diesel due to road tax and whatever tax they tack on the price.

A picture is worth 1000 words, or in this case 700 cents. No Pollyannas here

Up $.10 around here.

Red/off road diesel is available in a few stations around here.

DO NOT get caught with it in your on road vehicle. Huge multi thousand dollar fine.

State troopers will stick your tank to check it. ( mostly large trucks...)

Here as well. I get red D 50 gallons at a time for my tractors. They have really cracked down on folks trying to load and go but I have been going to the same place for almost 28 years.

News reports say the average price of gas has dropped below the $6.00 mark. I haven't seen any lately.

$3.19 for 87 at Sams today. $3.73 for 93.
Saw a new scam at the pump. Guy in front of me is pumping and a guy comes up with a gas can and asks for a couple gallons. The fellow says sure and puts some gas in the can for him. Guy heads across the lot with his can. I get my gas and here comes the guy with the can asking the lady next to me for a couple gallons. She said no and I left.
