At the FlyingJ last weekend in South Jersey, ULSD was 2.43, and RUG was 2.24. Somehow,across the state line in DE and PA, they manage to rip drivers off by charging 40-60 cents more per gallon for Diesel fuel, while only charging 10-20 cents more for gas. Can't all be just "taxes".
In PA the tax on diesel is 7 cents higher than the tax on gasoline and the federal tax is 6 cents higher on diesel.
The highest cost in a gallon of diesel is for the crude (now just a bit more than 1.50/gallon), then the tax ($0.595/gallon in PA), and the transportation, refining, distribution and profit make up the rest.
