Yesterday I paid $2.999/gal for regular in Texas on I-10, west of Houston. 
Today I paid $2.899/gal in Louisiana on I-10, just east of the Texas border. 


$2.00 and $2.10 a gallon less than in our hometown

Currently it's hovering around $4.00 +/- $0.10 for diesel in the Mid Atlantic, which is lower than its been in a while.

Most places I felt fine if I hunted the Pemex places as they buy from US and it is all low sulfur. I stayed away from other brands. I also kept 6 gallons of diesel in 3  2 gallon tanks just in case. But no... no problems. I noticed ...could be my imagination... my Regen occurred more often. AND.... bring an extra DEF 2.5 gallon... real hard to find.

Regular gas went up to $4.80/gal a couple of months ago in Tucson and has just recently begun to come down.  It is ~$4.20 in most places around town, but can be found a bit lower if you search.

This was actually just a gas-price sighting. It got better in Del Rio, TX (another border town), where I filled up my just reacquired F150:  $2.949/gal
