The difference between K1 kerosene, Diesel fuel and heating oil is the rate at which it is taxed. Diesel fuel is K1 kerosene with red dye added. Heating oil is K1 kerosene taxed at a different rate.. Diesel fuel and K1 kerosene are taxed at different rates... Diesel fuel is high now because there is a larger market for heating oil. We will have to see how all this plays out in the next few months but the low sulpher diesel fuel will be more expensive..how expensive..with diesel at the price it is now..go figure..also the new emmission standards for diesel motors.. I note on the International web site that they are alerting their fleet buyers of big diesel motor increases in 07.. One of the primary reasons we did not get a diesel in our 05 TV was because of these concerns.We figured that when our travel status changed and we would be doing many more miles we might get the diesel in 08 after the smoke cleared..doesn't look good..hope it improves....
