This is what i was thinking, though in the last few months it has skyrocketed.

However, I am considering a bulk diesel purchase before those prices spike too high. I can store about 500 gallons at my parents house.
I don't go out of my way to the gas station, its literally in a direct route on my way to work.

And you do think it will average out? i mean right before Christmas i filled up for 2.97. I got gas yesterday from the same station and it is now 3.53.
