Gas is 1.32$ a Litre, witch comes to 4.88$ a US gallon.... yeah it's bad here!
The really sad part is that a chunk of the fuel they buy south of the border is produced here....

I bought $400 of diesel a week ago Friday, and emptied that tank this afternoon. I'm now getting a 3-4cent/litre break, the local station I use put a cardlock in a while back, and now has their own card to loan us small guys to fill up with. We use their card, give it back, and just pay like we normally would. I'll swing by again the middle of the week and refill my tank....it takes 380 litres or so to fill it.

shouldn't diesel ALWAYS be cheaper than gas? Or does that make way too much logical sense?

Yep, lots of folks blame the Oil Companies, but it is more the government and sinking $, that is why food is way up also...

the price of diesel really went up when the government mandated the use of ULSD for on road fuel. it takes more work to refine ULSD than #2 and it also takes new equipment to do it. not every refinary has a diesel hydro treater, which is what makes #2 into ULSD.

Now with ULSD you have to burn 15% more fuel to get where you are going. You have less power too.
How does burning more fuel give us less pollution?

So I have heard. I liked having diesel that gave me better mileage. Not less, stupid ulsd junk. Is there additives for fuel that can help in the place of less sulfur?
