I paid $4.46 last week for diesel for my P/U.



At the cheapest gas station I know of (Rotten Robbie
on Lafayette St. in Santa Clara), diesel went up 30
cents in three days last week -- from $4.69 to $4.99.
(For comparison, regular, mid-grade and premium gasoline
there is $4.29, $4.39 and $4.49, respectively.) I've
parked my diesel Mercedes and started using my V-8 Chevy
pickup as my daily driver. Fuggit.

Ghod knows what diesel is going for at Bay/Delta fuel
docks nowadays, considering the mysterious "nautical
surcharge" that gets tacked onto otherwise-mundane fuels.
Maybe there's a feature about that somewhere in the _Bay
And Delta Yachtsman_, but if so, I have yet to find it.
