I assume the price of Diesel is due to less refineriescommitted to making
diesel? Which I assume is because of the difficulty getting
construction and operating permits?

More like tight supplies in winter because the eastern yankees use it
to heat houses in place of wood
is one important final point diesels really hold their value, waay
better than gassers...

...the diesel is only $2500 more.
Every bit of which you'll get back on resale, at least
around here.

Yes and no...
Last I checked diesel was $4.05
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.

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

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

Yes I recall an oil analyst about 15 years ago describing how converting more
of the passenger fleet to diesel would not make economic sense because there is
virtually no reserve refining capacity in North America so any increase in
consumption of diesel would drive the price up and thereby
Right now the US is exporting lots of diesel to Yurp.

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:

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.

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).

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.

M,
Yeah, they mentioned that Bluetec thing, urea injection into the exhaust
to cut emissions. Sounds like a problem in the making, whether keeping
the goo tank filled or how it works. Or maybe you just fill the tank up
on long trips...
