the reason diesel prices have gone up is due to 2 reasons.the first being that diesel now has to be refined more to burn cleaner than before. 2years ago my semi got 8mpg than they took 1/2 the sulfer out and it dropped to 7mpg now this year my new truck is required to have the semi version of a cadilatic convertor and they took the rest of the sulfer out now i get 5.5mpg the experts say that my truck burns 25%cleaner but yet i burn 30%more fuel as do all the other semis thus demand is higher by 30%
thank you california clean air act and the epa. the reason oil is up isnot because of washington!! its because china and india have discovered the automobile and are using 3 times what they did 2 years ago
and are driving the world prices up this is why we should be drilling in alaska and off our coasts.
if we would use more bio fuels just 2%would decrease are dependance on the world market by 60%.
plus bio fuels are renewable and burn cleaner i,ll get off my soapbox now
