Farm diesel/heating oil cost less to refine then any gasoline. So, there's some bullsh*t somewhere.
I just filled my farm diesel tanks here in central New York State - cost $2.30 per gallon. Highway diesel at the pump is $3.20 per gallon. And, soon the new - ultra-low sulfur is going to be the only pump diesel - and I suspect it will be even higher.
Diesel DOES weigh more per gallon than gas - so, it might cost a few more pennies to ship it than gas. And, you are actually getting more BTU engergy in a gallon of diesel. When Katrina hit New Orleans and Mississippi, the Fed. Government claimed that huge amounts of diesel were being used in recovery and rebuilding, and thus we'd have some "temporary" spikes. So far, doesn't look very temporary.
Also, the Fed. governemt was giving waivers in New Orleans legalizing use of dyed fuel/heating oil in highway vehicles. Don't know if that ever ended, or not.
