What's up the the gas vs. diesel prices?

If our EPA wasn't run by a bunch of global climate change ninnies we would have more diesel vehicles in the US. You can get more gallons of fuel from a barrel in diesel vs gas. Plus there is no need to change blends from summer to winter.

Aside from that get what you need for your purpose for towing or work.

Good point, the more we use something the more R&D we do to make it more efficient, cleaner, etc., government does not understand this at all.

You can get more gallons of fuel from a barrel in diesel vs gas.

Refineries in the United States produced an average of about 12 gallons of diesel fuel and 19 gallons of gasoline from one barrel (42 gallons) of crude oil in 2013.
There is some flexibility at different refineries to change the ratio somewhat. The profitability of any particular refinery is based on how fast they can change.

Don't worry; it will go up again when they gear op for heating oil production. I remember when diesel was $0.60 something a gallon; today we get to pay a premium for refined oil and supplements to save the injection pump...pure awesome!
