Not so sure modern Diesel is "less refined". The currently available
fuel has a very low sulphur content. This must either restrict the
source material or impose much more processing at the refinery.

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
