the 06 & later vw TDIs have a restrictor in the filler neck so that the
truck diesel nozzles will not fit. look on the other side of the diesel pump -
often there is a car/small diesel nozzle on one side and one for trucks
on the other side.

Actually, the fuel filler necks on the '06 Jetta's are so narrow the diesel nozzle for autos will not fit in all the way. Maybe there are countries or states that mandate smaller nozzles for ultra-low sulfer diesel fuel, so VW must build to meet those specifications? I've yet to find a station in WA that has a nozzle small enough to fit all the way into the filler neck. The nozzle does fit in far enough to allow the automatic shut-off to function. It's never been a problem with our '04 Passat.

Really? Diesel is $0.75/gallon higher than RUG where we live... The biggest spreads I've ever seen...

There is no rhyme nor reason to RUG or Diesel prices anymore. I can go within 10 miles of my house and find both prices .30-.50 more per gallon sometimes and in the opposite direction maybe a few cents less. Same state and county and no local taxes on gasoline so somebody is making a lot of money per gallon. That "oh we only make 2-3 cents per gallon" is a bunch of crap.

In my area, the prices for Diesel have a difference of up to $1.50 per gallon within a 2 miles radius. Lowest price right now is 3.29, highest is 4.79 and everywhere in between all within several blocks. RUG tends to have a .50 difference between the same statsions. Some of the stations actually have Diesel less than RUG. I agree with you -- there is no rhyme or reason!

You're right, the price of Diesel is still between $0.50 to $1.1 in some area. specifically in NY, NJ, and PA. And I doubt it will ever be cheaper than the GAS, because of the low sulfur requirement by the EPA

The RUG here in north east is as low as $2.53 and the PUG is $2.63, the DSF is $3.45. But again this can be different from other area. It all depend on how close you are to the refinery and if the area where you live has a lot of competition??. Take alook at this page from the news http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12400801/

Well here no. The distribution point (for the area for literally ALL brands) is literally down the street from the fuel station quoted (2 blocks).
The refineries are in Benecia/Martinez (that helped win WW2 Pacific campaign,) again literally up the road less than 40 miles.

This AM the temperature was below 55 F and the MIL came on when I started the car. Off to the dealer again ...
