Diesel Price Surprise

We'd been dreading the time we'd have to buy diesel fuel in California. It had been our prior experience that California prices were significantly higher than just about anywhere else. So it was a pleasant surprise when we pulled into the Flying J in Corning, CA and topped off the tank for $4.21/gallon. That's the least we've paid in almost a year. I know prices are dropping again - thank God - so that accounts for some of it, but we had just paid $4.30 in Oregon a few days before and we thought that was great! Kind of sad that we can think anything over $4/gallon is a good price, isn't it?
