You'll probably want to kill me...

...but I just tanked up at my usual Sunoco station. These are the prices:

87 - $2.579
89 - $2.679
93 - $2.759
94 - $2.799
diesel - $2.689

Needless to say I was not alone at the diesel pumps, quite a few semis were there topping off. Most stations of this size in the area have 10 gas pumps and 2 diesel... this station is 6 and 6.

I'm not saying those of you paying over $3.00 are getting jobbed - there are plenty of reasons for local proce fluctuations. But, the most I have paid for diesel this year at this station was $2.799, and that was right after Katrina hit. It's entirely possible that they're subsidizing diesel by keeping gasoline a few cents higher, knowing they do the volume to support such a move.

Normally, I would keep the location to myself, but I'll give this one up so some of you can save a few bucks. It's on US45 westbound in Palisades Park NJ, just west of Broad Ave/US 1-9, just a few miles west of the GW Bridge, and a long spit east of the I-95/US 46 interchange in Ridgefield.
