"Why am I paying 50 cents or more than premuim for a fuel that is of less quality than any grade of gas?"
Most U.S. refinerys are setup to produce more gas than diesel, they are different processes and like mentioned before - it's a supply/demand issue as the demand for diesel is increasing. I think the ratio is something like 60% gasoline, 20% diesel and the rest is motor oil, jet fuel and asphalt.
I know what you mean though, I used to have a little MB 300D and diesel was about 2/3 the price of gas.
