    I've seen some stations where the diesel was less than the premium or plus. I haven't seen it below regular yet.

    Of course, I remember as a kid diesel was always less than gas. I asked my mom about it when diesel went above gas and she told me it was always like that in the 70s.

    Right now it is 71.4 cents a litre for diesel and 80 - 84 cents a litre for regular here in Calgary. The same was at least last two months when I fuelled my Ken... :Gas:

    My mom got her first diesel Benz in 1974, the heart of the American gas crisis. Not only was diesel cheaper than gas back then she didn't have to wait in 1/4 mile lines for it either. I don't think diesel went above the price of gas until some time in the late 90's. I wasn't living at home then so I tended not to notice.
