I'm in the South, technically. Southern Appalachian mountains of East TN. I don't run a whole lot in cold country but I live on a mountain these days where it it get's d*mn cold. Tractor, diesel VW Jetta for my grocery getter and my work equipment use diesel.
I've always paid about $7 a bottle for Howe's at dealership counters, usually while on runs north in the winter. I don't run it all winter.
I call around today and look at Walmart, Tractor Supply, etc. and it's $15 a bottle now. I call a couple of local truck dealer counters where it's always been half that and they don't even sell it here!
What gives? What are you guys paying in the northern states?
Please don't turn this into a general rant about inflation. There's plenty of that already. Just curious about anti-gel.
Anti-gel prices where you are

Fuel in the North is already pre treated. When I go to MN-ND in extremely cold weather, I just fuel with diesel #1.
The last time I bought anti gel in my local Michigan parts store a year ago, I do remember it being about $7. Did not know price went up so highidriveaholden and 86scotty Thank this. -
Constant Learner and Oxbow Thank this. -
Highway robbery! Literally. I guess I'll force a smile and buy 2 bottles at Wally World here in a few minutes for $13.50 per, if they actually have it.
Oxbow and Arctic_fox Thank this. -
As for the truckstops yea i HATE buying at them and try to do it at a store whenever i can. But if the choice is being robbed or getting towed for a gelup.....being robbed all year is cheaper then 1 tow and filters.Oxbow Thanks this. -
