Re: [MBZ] Slightly O.T. Diesel
Nah. Gasoline prices should come down. Diesel is still used for farming, mining, tractor trailers, etc. A barrel of oil can only be refined into x percentage of diesel. With less demand for gasoline, but similar demand for diesel, the price for gasoline should come down. Unless the government taxes it more.
