There are some areas, that in effect, mandate the use of BioDiesel with a few exceptions. The Minnesota state legislature passed one of those mandates this past July. Fortunately, I'm able to use Bio, but those who can't, have to either avoid those areas or use other measures. The federal regulations required to reduce emissions are largely responsible as to why diesel now costs more than gasoline. Therefore, you can thank our government. On the other hand, diesel is used by practically every semi today, so it's a supply/demand issue. I also find it interesting on how "we" (that means all of citizens) have become desensitized to $3/gal. for gas and $3.5 for diesel. That's still pricey in my book and we're elated. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be paying less, but just think of where else you could spend that money and help our commerce!
