The price of diesel is usually above that of gasoline because the EPA mandated that it be reformuated to ultra-low sulphur. This caused the oil refineries to install a ton of new hi-tech equipment to pull out the sulphur. Guess who pays for it? Right now the refineries are the largest consumer of Hydrogen in the US. It's used in the sulphur extraction process for diesel. In my mind we have two ways to reduce our transportation costs: 1. Reduce our need for transportation. Rebuild our cities so people live close to where they work, and reduce the need for travel. This will force us into more of a community-based life, and less on an urban/city-based life. 2. Reduce the comfort level and convenience of the transportation systems we have. Cars are more convenient than buses or trains. Geo Metro's are less comfortable than LeSabres. The only way to get people to use mass transit and other lower-cost transportation systems is to make the alternative (personal vehicles) either too expensive or too inconvenient (traffic) to consider using. Very few people will use it very long just to "be a good guy". Mark in Utah Mark in Utah
