I think it will be a while before Diesel prices drop below 87 octane gasolene. Two factors are working against us -- First, diesel is just about the same as fuel oil used for heating and power plants as has already been pointed out. The second issue is sulpher content. I'm not precisely sure how it works but have been told the new lower emmission diesel fuel is a good deal more expensive than previous blends.
One other thing to note if trying to save money on fuel. If you find different diesel grades available at truck stops or in farm country, it is usually cheaper but you will have to deal with the big nozzles. Oh, and make sure it is properly taxed for light weight highway use.
