Heating oil is from roughly the same fraction of the barrel of crude as diesel. Gasoline is a different part of the crude oil.

Diesel and Heating oil are both in steady demand, the former to run trucks and trains, especially.

Gasoline demand has dropped some from people conserving fuel, cutting miles driven, etc., which just hasn't happened with the freight moving industry.

OK< So why is gas with all that tax cheaper than Home Heating oil with no tax on it?
