There is no reason in the world why Diesel costs more than Reg Unleaded. The only valid acceptable answer is that the Oil companies are greedy, plain and simple.

You'll never convince me it's a "supply & demand" thing because if you do use that excuse-tell me this: what had changed in the last two years or so that would cause a "supply and demand" issue? You can't. It's simply the oil companies and OPEC.

Recall just a few years ago when diesel soared: The truckers all drove to DC and protested. Where are they now? What has changed?

Diesel actually dropped here last week. It went from 2.109 to 1.999. Seems funny to be happy that it fell below 2.00 but I am. Still was the same today been there since last thursday. Tim

Hey, at least he bought the fuel cans. These drivers he's siphoning off must work for some pretty slack companies, if my fuel use went up by 20 gallons a week without me driving more miles, I'd have some 'splainin' to do.
