One of the secrets to the US' strong economy was gasoline and diesel when they hovered between $1.00 and $1.35 per gallon for years. One of the worst signs for me (not just when the price of crude went up) was when the cost of diesel started to climb way ahead of the cost of gasoline. For years diesel would be cheaper than gas (slightly) in the summer and then slightly higher in the winter (obviously due to home heating oil use) But, three years ago I noticed that diesel fuel stayed consistantly 50 cents to $1 above the cost of gasoline. Congress did nothing! That was one of the downfalls. Any fool realizes that higher diesel fuel means higher costs for every single thing we purchase and companies purchase. It still to this day does not make sense that diesel fuel should cost 25% more than gasoline. From a refining standpoint, it actually should cost less to make and is slightly less volitol to transport, so go figure. Sounds like another conspiracy. Exxon posted record profits for the year despite a bleak third quarter, so when can we wrestle them to the ground and ask for more than just the corporate tax on that insane profit (which was at all of our expense when gas was $4/gallon) I’ve been saying the same thing for the past 10 years.
