I noticed that the spread is only $0.20 at a station I looked at yesterday,.
Seems like if was $1.00 not long ago.
Anyone think there may be a return to the good ole days?

I saw the spread at $0.10 early last week, but it was $0.50 yesterday.
I doubt we'll see the good ole days again, but I'm getting more
pessimistic in my old age.

$3.35 and 3.99 before the last hurricane (ike) they way up for
gas. Now $3.35 and 3.89 Still 55cents difference here.still kind of

On my calculator, -- = 1.647, so it's about 65% better.
You are right. How I came up with that percentage is beyond me. Which makes
those gas engines of the period look even worse. The present 20% separation

Common rail direct injection.it's been out here since 98. There's a
new-ish gasoline injection system called FSI or something. Uses a direct

I thought we were talking about gasoline. CDI is a common-

Its way out of control. Its been going up 10 cents every couple of days

days a week. Im giving some serious thought to quiting my autotrader
job and contrating more on parting out cars.

Normally, this would be a no-brainer - I'd buy the diesel - but with the
increase in diesel fuel and the price differential between E300Ds and
comparable E320s, I'm having trouble seeing the best car to buy.
