Usually diesel prices go up in winter in the places that get winter. Cold weather = winter diesel which used to mean 50% #1 diesel mixed with 50% #2 diesel which made winter diesel that was good down to about -20 degrees which was higher priced. A few years ago the local fuel distributor told me they had a new way to formulate winter diesel which did not use #1 diesel/stove oil which is higher priced. So did the winter price stop going up? Nope. Max in the north country which is having a very mild no snow December, still having green grass.
