What phillbo said.

The "official" excuse is that because of the new ultra-low sulphur mandates for diesel, refineries claim the extra steps to acheive the purity makes the cost of producing diesel well in excess of what it costs to make gasoline.

There is *some* truth in this; but 50 cents a gallon here in the states seems excessive.

It's well known that a lot of folks that use on-road diesel have to because it's a commercial vehicle and their living depends on it.

Have you priced an airline ticket lately?? Can't fly a 777 on ethanol or WVO.
