the "Heating Oil' graph below it
is generally considered a substitute for diesel fuel,
but it runs several percent below ULSD prices

Ditched the diesel in about June. Oh well

 

it has been a very expensive experiment

small changes in consumption (3% to 7%)
lead to huge changes in price (as much as 100%)
.... and it can be worse if
large speculators have access to huge bank loans
so that they can use leverage as high as 30 to 1
in the oil futures contracts markets
