Subject: Re: [Aus-soaring] diesel pricing Can anyone explain why it is more expensive in Australia when it is a less refined product?

In real terms the unleaded is about AUD$1.66 and diesel is AUD$1.30. If only I could buy diesel at that price for my new turbo diesel that I got last week. Stuart Interesting indeed, Stuart! The price of diesel in Melbourne, also in Auckland is around $1.58/ litre Melbourne ULP $1.36 Auckland ULP $$1.89 What is the go there?
