Why not! I suspect if the duty was higher, then the Avgas would be higher. Avgas is a specilaist fuel, I would guess costs more to make and there are a limited number of users, all conductive to a resulting high price. Red diesel is easy to make, lots of it about, not too different from white diesel, so price reflects the difference in duty.
