Red diesel is for agriculture and industrial use here,
Hence the term "off-road diesel". It doesn't have a road maintenance tax on it.

This doesn't work in other states where the taxes support other programs, like clean air and abandoned tank disposal.
 
Interesting how the price goes up in one part of the country and down in other parts and then the trend reverses despite oil prices. We went up from $4.05 to $4.23 two days ago while there are reports that prices went significantly down elsewhere.

Not interesting enough to actually learn why though? All of that information is readily available.

Prices are regional because supplies are regional. Pipelines, refineries, and required fuel blends differ by area, so local problems move local prices regardless of crude. Some ripples in the market take time to propagate like waves in a lake, and by the time they impact one location another has recovered. Inventories, refinery maintenance and outages, seasonal blend changes, and state taxes all shift prices on their own timelines.

There's no black box, it's all transparent and visible for those not seeking a narrative or conspiracy theory.
 
We went up to the Gatlinburg, TN area last week and the price in Sevierville was about $3.60/gal, in Gatlinburg it was $4.19.
 
As of now, here in the Panhandle of FL, prices go from 3.89 to 4.29 from one exit on I-10 to the next. So be sure to use an app like Gas Buddy if in the area.

Heck....I see the same thing just in our area. The town I live in had the lowest prices for quite a while and now we are the most expensive.

I know that prices will vary but one would think that prices would be relative between different parts of the country. I'm just wondering if there's some logic to the radical variation in prices. Some people here will report a 20 cent decrease in price while it goes up 30 cents here on the same day.
