Yes, i agree, something is not right. Used to be back 50 years ago, distallites were a by product of the production of gasoline, so you were almost paid to take it. From what my dad told me, that is why the tractors were started on gas and then run on distillates, the prices were very, very low compared to gasoline, so much cheaper to run that way. So personally, I think that becasue of all the diesel trucks on the road, it is a way for oil companies to rip off consumers. Unitl the demand for diesel went up, it was still .30-.40 cheaper than gasoline. The low/no sulfer diesel fuel things were instituted long after the price of diesel took a big hike in price.
