Do you guys have plenty of local diesel sources?

Around here I couldn't help but notice diesel was getting really
expensive, sometimes quite a bit more than gasoline, and some stations
have only one or no diesel pumps at all.

I suppose you can always use a truck stop of course.

I hope that this gets more popular, although a lot of distributors claim
that boosting the amount of diesel will increases costs.

My take: yet another excuse to increase prices without any genuine
reason.
