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.

I don't know if anyone gave you a good answer to your question, but my 2005 TDI uses oil that has VW 505.01 as a spec that you can find on the back of the bottles. Last time I looked Mobile 1 did not have it. AMS oil does. Please look at the owner’s manual and look for the specification you need. Most oils can't go more than 5000 miles. The specification has to do with how the oil deals with contamination. After 5000 miles you need to change the oil because the oil filter can’t remove all the junk that’s suspended in the oil. AMS oil for gas engines can go 50000 miles, but diesel is still 5000 miles.
This is the simple explanation. I hope it helps.

Does this apply to the new 2009s? According to the manual and dealership, the service intervals are 10,000 miles. Not sure what type of oil I'm using, all I know is they mentioned synthetic...

I have been running 0w20, 5w20 (Mobil One) for 73,000 miles with a min of 10,000 miles. The conventional 5w20 meets the 10,000 miles specifications (FORD/HONDA, Ford being the stricter specifications)
