Title: Today's diesel fuel price in East Teaxs.
Post by: roadrunnertex on October 31, 2008, 12:50:54 PM
Well folks,
I filled the Buffalo with diesel this morning $3.09 per gallon. ;D
This is the cheapest it been around here in East Texas over a year.
Last year at this time it was $3.44 per gallon.
Now that the tank is full I treated the diesel with Biocide to prevent the forming of algae it works very well and I have  have had a problem with clogged filters.
With fuel prices this low a road trip to South Florida might be in our future.
