For the first time in a long time, today in Eastman GA, diesel was cheaper than gas. 2.64 v 2.65.

Considering Deisel has about 12% more energy per gallon than gasoline,
it should cost 12% more. If you can find it for less than that, it's
a bargain.

Unfortunately, I use gas - and it's not that diesel came down (it didn't), but that gas went up.
