Given that 30-40% of the difference is due to refining costs - it does
cost more to refine ultra-low sulphur diesel, and the tax is the same,
60-70% of that price difference has got to be be profit. I expect as
demand for diesel increases, the difference will reduce.
We pay about 9% more for diesel whereas it is about 7-8% in the UK
(again with no tax difference), but demand is far higher.
I'll still choose the diesel to be much cheaper to run due to
efficiency !!

Can anyone explain why it is more expensive in Australia when it is
a less refined product?
(actually yes I know the answer is taxes but why is the tax not
consistent across all fuels? Why do Diesel users pay more?)

Interestingly, I am in Singapore right now (isn't that where our
price for Crude oil is set) and I am looking at a Shell station
with unleaded at SG$2.01 and diesel at SG$1.58. 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.

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?
