Now it seems like diesel is $.30 - .50 more expensive than gasoline.
Anyone know why that is?

Diesel could be a lot cheaper but there is more demand than there is diesel being refined. That and the fact that EPA says we have to use ULSD which costs more to make. A lot of refineries are making more No.2 oil instead of ULSD as No. 2 oil can be used to heat houses, offices, etc.
