As older homes upgrade to gas or get torn down, there will be less use for
heating oil. There are also issues with sources of oil. Venezuelan crude is
crap for motor fuel, but much better for diesel and kerosene. The stuff we
produce in Texas and such is light sweet, Really nice for gasolin
Diesel is $3.70 - $3.80 here, same as premium gas.
However, the economics don't matter in most cases, Diesel rocks and gas
sucks. It's about the inherent superiority of Diesel technology over spark
ignited gasoline. Mechanical elegance and all that.

I assume the price of Diesel is due to less refineriescommitted to making

Diesel is the same price as premium gas here. You have to remember that the
fuel markets are world markets, not local, not US. A cold winter in the EU
will also drive up Diesel costs.

The price of diesel is reflective of the price of heating oil, or it used
to be. We've had a cold winter in the East so lots of heating oil was
consumed, and our diesel prices reflect that.
Today we had the latest mostest snow I can remember (2 -3" in my back yard).

We ship diesel to the EU. It is more profitable. Lots of the crude up north
is going to Asia, since it is more profitable to Korea and Japan, than having
west coast refiners make domestic fuel.

Reuters seems to think that Americas cold winter and Europes limited
refining capacity has created a shortage that has driven up the current
diesel prices in both areas:

The TDI may still be a winner at close to 50 mpg as per Curt's experience.

Yeah, they mentioned that Bluetec thing, urea injection into the exhaust
to cut emissions. Sounds like a problem in the making, whether keeping
