--- Quote ---Yeah, I'm in Minnesota, Land Of 10000 Mandates. I don't use diesel fuel, I just happened one day to notice the price was somewhere around $2.89 per gallon when regular gasoline at the same place was somewhere around maybe $2.49.
This was a year or so back, and I was surprised. Last I knew, diesel was always cheaper than gasoline.
I was getting nervous when the state was talking about mandatory E20 in the next year or two. That one bothered me because none of the vehicles I own is approved for anything beyond E10. I especially don't want to run my boat on E-anything, let alone E20. I think that idea fizzled, thankfully.

When the biodeisel first hit the market our trucks had alot of trouble with it, the additives wern't right for the product. The additive market for winter driving finely caught up. Combined with a bad run of the fuel all kinds of trouble was arrising for the first year or so of Bio production. They now seem to have the proccess right but the price will always remain high for private highway use. The are exceptions here in Minnesota for over the road trucks and IFTA (International Fuel Tax Association) is here for those truckers. But not us private deisel drivers. So our only savior is the fact that with Biodeisel and a computor chip I can get 23 MPG from a 3/4 HD truck, which beats 10-12 which is what the gas models in the same size truck are getting. I can also dial up to 500 HP and over 1000 Ft. Lbs. of torgue and still get 16 MPG. And pulling a capacity load I can still get 16-20 MPG I just have to keep the RPM below 2000 which is an excrusiatingly slow 67 MPH!!

Wednesday they went around and boosted the price back up to $2.05. But a day later it's down to $2.03. Tuesday I filled up at Sam's club and paid $1.80 (member price).
Why do they always seem to boost the price by $0.20/per gallon in one shot, but SLOWLY slide down a penny or so a time over a couple weeks?

Prices are "sticky downward". Typically when a market has shown it can/will bear a certain price point, comming down from that price wil be as slow as competition and the market will allow.
