I would like to know why it has gone up so much especially being more expensive than gas.

Diesel is basically a byproduct of making gas. It does not need the refining that gas does. It is not as volitle ( I think its spelled right) as gas. You can not make gas without having made some deisel during the process. So why the H-E-*-* does it cost more than gas. And what made it get more expensive than gas as just a couple of years ago ( if that long) it was about .50 cheaper than gas.



That is my question,answer-----------I was a truck driver for years till i hurt my back and the hole USA is running only because big rigs supply the stores with stuff that runs this country and the goverment knows it that is why. That is why there is more road TAX on diesel.

I wish diesel in my area was as "cheap" as super-unleaded. It is about 2 - 5 cents more than super-unleaded in Southern NH.

It's all a big scam!

Maybe you could dump a load of that 2.29 diesel here in Vancouver. Were still at 2.49, got some at Jubitz (Portland) today for 2.25.

At Owensboro , KY I paid $1.92 for diesel and Daytom , TN $1.96 , both at WalMart using a WalMart shopping card . ( Would have been 3 cents a gallon more without the card .) Not cheaper than gas at WalMart but cheaper than gas almost everywhere else . Most fuel stops are a ripoff , especially Pilot which often has diesel 10 cents more than gas .

Just fueled up.
1/2 way between Gainsville Va & Warranton Va on Rt 29 there's a new Exxon station that's advertising $2.099 diesel.

East Coast station at Rt 17 & Rt 29 is $2.119, PURE station next door the same.
CITCO at Rt 15 & I-66 also @ $2.099 gallon diesel.
Saw several gas stations in Gainsville with $1.99 for Regular Unleaded.

Of course 'round Arlington, still $2.37 for diesel, and $2.11 for Reg. Unl.
