I really think this so-called complexity is a bit overblown.
 
But I agree that the EPA's intentions do not favor diesel.

I thank you both, jibl and gagrice. Also, the Bin number corresponding to diesel didn't come through. Could you post that again?

My understanding it is Tier 2 Bin 5 for diesel emissions. That is LEV II for CARB states.

I have been posting periodically the price differential between reg unleaded gas and diesel. As high a $1.15 per gallon, it is now zero. Both cost 2.29/gal. This is bizarre but may relate to the lack of need for winter fuel diesel. I guess the FE advantages of owning a diesel depend on which season you are talking about.

As you have noted, the differential (between RUG to PUG vs D2) does fluctuate. However in addition there is the structural variable of D2's higher fuel mileage 20-40%.
 
See msg #7665 in "Diesels In The News" for an 82% RUG premium over diesel (per mile driven) with diesel and RUG way off the 4.50 per gal highs.

"The price of diesel fuel dipped to less than the price of a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline earlier this month, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA)."

fuel prices are always available link here and link here
 
Thus there is no need for us to start appending our local prices.

I often wish I could buy at the cheapest prices even as I live in one of the acknowledge higher priced areas.
