***With all due respect, you’re missing the price of diesel in every step in the manufacturing chain.***
I find it interesting that back in the high oil prices of the late 1970s and 1980s and ‘90s that diesel was lower in price than gasoline by several cents.
Today diesel is higher than gasoline.
I don’t have a diesel, but first noticed the flip a few years ago. I remember when it was less expensive too. My uncle had a diesel, and would often talk about how it (his truck’s use of diesel) was more efficient and that the fuel was less expensive so he won all the way around.
