I don’t know what’s going on, but for first time in my lifetime it may cost more to fuel same vehicle with diesel. |
Diesel has been higher than gasoline for quite some time. Even back in 2008, diesel was much more expensive than gasoline, though for short periods of time since, diesel got to be a little cheaper than gasoline.
We are told that there is only so much diesel that can be extracted from a barrel of oil, and since there is such a high demand for that type of fuel in this country (big rigs, big planes, locomotives, construction and farming equipment, etc.) that the supply isn't up to par with the demand. Not sure that I believe that supply and demand issues are the only reason for the higher price for diesel.
