So, how does the price of Diesel work out?
That would depend on how many hours you worked for a gallon of diesel in year x, versus how many hours you worked for a gallon of diesel in year x+.
In those days gasoline ran around $.25/gallon, and diesel (not low-sulphur but the smelly stuff) was a little cheaper. Nowadays seems like diesel is priced higher than regular gas. I hardly ever notice since I have only ever had gasoline-fueled cars.Seems to me I paid around $.35 for premium in the early 1960s . . .
