You are 100% correct it is a byproduct of makig gasoline. They can fuge the ratio up or down a little but not much.

 

just filled up while I was out running some errands for work. . .$2.95 for gas. . .$2.75 for #2

 

Interesting little piece regarding Diesel/Gas

http://www.ftc.gov/ftc/oilgas/archive/070502.htm

 

Diesel is less than unleaded here, has been for a while by at least .20 or so.

 

There paying for the health care and other things through the gas taxes, has nothing to do with the price they pay for gas

 

If I didnt have to pay for health care Icould certainly afford much higher fuel prices.

 

hehe wooo canada

 

I have to agree... Where I live diesel fluctuates between 10 cents cheaper to 30 cents more expensive then gas (reg for cheaper and premium for more expensive) however I take a 30 min drive to the "city" and it is cheaper by 20+ cents depending on where you buy... There is no rythm or reason, it doesn't even match the increase in diesel use during harvest season or anything...

 

Yeah! What he said!!

 

As far as the whole 9-11 thing, think of this. Most of the military vehicles burn diesel, so if we go to war then the military is going to burn a hell of a lot more fuel, hence driving the price up like a ga-billion people bought diesel cars. Just my 2 cents.
