If diesel is your flavor of the week, it’s a steal at $3.46—up from $3.42 last month, but let’s not get greedy. And in case you think we have it bad, just take a look at California, where the folks are enjoying a sunny $4.49 per gallon. Hawaii and Washington are also embracing the art of overpriced fuel, hovering just below California’s golden standard.
