    US. You can’t just pull in and expect diesel. You have to know where they are. I don’t pay that much attention but it’s probably, maybe 1/3 have diesel.

    *Wow y’all sensitive to someone’s personal experience.

      I’ll back you up. Diesel is widely available in rural and suburban America where big pickup trucks are common, and it’s less available in cities where smaller cars are more common. (Other than an occasional VW model we do not have small cars with diesel engines, which sucks.) I have been to cities on both coasts where you had to go out of your way to find stations selling diesel.

      Yeah, Some people really don’t pay attention. I figure 1 in 3 around here have diesel. Most of those are set up for big trucks as well. The ones that don’t are ready to charge you four bucks for a sixteen ounce soda.

        Given how big the US is I would imagine this kind of varies state to state. I’m in Washington state and I would say that about 85 to 90% of gas stations have diesel available. The major ones that don’t off the top of my head are Costco and Fred Meyers Gas Stations. The majority of the rest of them even in downtown Seattle generally have diesel available

          I believe you, but I’ve never seen a Fred Meyer that didn’t sell Diesel. In the areas I’ve lived in the United States though, any fuel station without diesel would be a novelty
