Question Who's paying the most for diesel fuel in the US?

Diesel is from $2.49 to $2.63 here in SW Washington/Vancouver area.
That's just too much!
Can anyone beat this?

Well so far only the Bay area in CA and Coos Bay in OR has got us beat. I haven't driven anywhere this weekend but I imagine by Monday we'll beat Coos Bay for sure.

Fuel prices:

Here on the left coast it is well over $2.50 at most places.
It's not the cost of fuel Arnold need more Cigar's.

Diesel most expensive in WA

According to a local news report, we've got the highest diesel prices in the nation here in SW Washington.
It's $2.63/Gallon. It hasn't gone up anymore for about a week now.

What the....?!?!

Today the price shot up to $2.75 for diesel. I've never seen any fuel up that high even when I was in Kalifornia a few years ago. This is getting rediculous!!!
I hope someone starts a revolt or something.
There was something about a tea party back in the colonial days, how about now?
