Not sure I understand this, either. Isn't it easier to refine diesel from crude? I remember back in the '70's that diesel was quite a bit cheaper than gasoline, so what's the deal with the switch? I realize there are more "consumer" diesel vehicles on the roads these days, but it doesn't seem to me that there are enough to justify the price differential. Is it an increase in diesel use by the "big rigs"? I know that the agriculture industry has changed their land tillage procedures drastically, land that was typically plowed every time there was a rainstorm back in the '60's and '70's is now only plowed once a year (if that much), so agricultural use of diesel would have decreased.
What's up?
