Cheaper than U.S.

It is $2.88 to $3.05 (more next to I-5 at major brand stations) here (per U.S. gallon) in San Diego North County... And About $2.15 in Baja... Until Antonio gets back online, look at the Sept. 1 prices he posted... the price os raised only a centavo or few each month.

I think the high price of diesel has to do with attempting to make it burn cleaner with not as much particulate matter that it is known for.
But then again it could be BIG OIL sticking it to the little guy;D

EPA mandates have a lot to do with fuel prices - and performance. Look at the MTBE fiasco. Additives that reduce performance with none of the promised benefits as well as creating a world of problems with stations and refineries.

Remember:

You need to factor in theft to arrive at an accurate price. Most all stations rig their pumps.
