That is high.
Where I live, it doesn't matter if prices go up or down, diesel remains 50% higher than gas.
I miss the old days when I bought my first diesel, diesel fuel was much cheaper than gas. It appears those days are gone for good.

Diesel fuel is a less refined product. There is no reason for it to cost that much more. This is all a political circus. The agenda is "get rid of diesel" and I swear I believe they are artificially forcing prices of fuel up to try and help their cause.

Further in New England, we don't have pipelines for it. It all has to come up via a port or via truck, which increases handling.

My first diesel back in 1999 and diesel fuel 80¢ a gallon and gas was $1.09. It was the reason I bought a diesel.
Then in 2007 ULSD was mandated and diesel fuel sky rocketed to way more than gas and has pretty much stayed there.,
April 2023, I saw diesel in Utah drop below regular gas. It was only a 10¢ a gallon cheaper for maybe a month. Then it shot up again.
I paid $3.89 a gallon yesterday for diesel vs gas at $3.29

Diesel is $1.83 litre where I'm at and it shoots up to close to $2 every now and then and In B.C. 7-8 weeks ago I was paying $2.15 litres in some places!
The pandemic was a fantastic opportunity for EVERYONE to jack up their prices and keep them jacked indefinitely. Diesel fuel costs MUCH less to produce than gasoline and there is much less of it being produced, but that is by design to keep the price jacked up. The cost of diesel is easily up a full dollar per litre since covid came about and that is just NUTS NUTS NUTS. The corporations own the politicians so there's no oversight in government to protect consumers from the current price gouging so this will continue to get worse until something breaks.
$7 for a loaf of rye, $2 per litre of diesel, $12 for 500g of decaf coffee, bone stock trucks going for 50k over MSRP, 25 year old rusted diesels selling for 40k.............and just keeps going on and on. Corporations are make all time RECORD profits now since covid all while wages are stagnant, it's just disgusting man!
