ITS ALL POLITICAL BULL SHEETS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR IT. POLITICAL BULL IF YOU ASK ME.<br><br>IT TAKES WAY MORE REFINING TO GET GASOLINE READY FOR A CAR THAN IT DOES DIESEL. I MEAN DIESEL IS BASICALLY RAW MATERAIL STRIPPED OFF THE TOP OF CRUDE. <br><br>DIESEL SHOULD ONLY COST 30 CENTS A GALLON IN MY OPINION. ITS WAY OVER CHARGED.

Re:DIESEL $$

Up here in the great white north of Alberta, Diesel is currently at CA$0.52 per litre (CA$1.96/US Gallon) and gas is at $0.729 per litre (CA$2.76/US Gallon) ......... NOW THEN...... in greenbacks instead of coloured money that would work out to $1.23 for diesel and $1.74 for gas! Sheesh, I'm sure glad to be Canadian ;D

Must be a conspiracy against our fine friends to the south

Re:DIESEL $$

Hmmm... I wonder how much it is in Windsor?? That's only a 15 minute drive! ;D Save over 20cents a gallon, might be worth it?! ;D

EDIT: Ehhhh nevermind, I forgot about the 2.50 fee to cross the bridge or tunnel going and coming back, the hassle of waiting in line, the bigger hassle of the border guards.... UGhhhhh!

I paid $1.35 a gallon yesterday in Virginia. I try not to buy it in West Virginia as it has .49 cents in taxes per gallon. So a 5 mile drive can easily save me 10 to 15 cents a gallon.
