Probably in LA no one has heard of off road diesel. In the country I think everyone uses it(but not me). Diesel has stayed very high priced, gasoline, even up here in the north country has dropped to $1.99. Enjoy it folks, we all know it wont last. In the winter of 2001 I got off road diesel delivered for $.76.9, I stored up on about 1000 gallons. Even now I'm going tru the last of my less than $2.00 diesel in my generator, its about 8 years old and seems to work fine. Last winter I was having starting problems so I dumped in two jugs of cetane booster and that seems to work very good. I will soon be out of all my old fuel. Max
