Diesel has more taxes, especially in CA.

Also, gas prices lower as the summer driving season dies down. But the trucking industry never stops so the demand is always there, keeping prices up.

This. It's also dirty as fuck, but your engine will last substantially longer. But that's why they tax it higher in most states. I'm no where near an environmentalist, but diesel really is dirty. Sucks in cold weather as well.

Think about a semi, train, construction equipment, etc. Now think about that Ford Focus. Which one do you smell? It's the most efficient way to move heavy loads with an engine running 8-16 hours a day though. Also, at least in IL, diesel isn't taxed for off road (construction) purposes. So what you see at gas stations is for the truckers or the hill billies with their diesel dually.

Intentional Supply pressure, no other reason. Manipulated Diesel prices is the quickest way to artificially inflate food to the point, that 80% of Americans will be dependent on Food Stamps. The world is trying to do the same, the end game perhaps will be The One World Government will decide who gets to eat from Bill Gates Gardens.

Us common folk shouldn't burn our 2 gals of diesel per day. Only people like dicaprio should be able to burn 300+ gallons of diesel per day on his yacht. People just don't seem to understand that our "BETTERS" deserve more rights and privileges than us commoners.
