The reason has been explained Curtis. We cant help that your socialist ass cant accept realityLOL
Really?
Then please tell me exactly what has been explained in this thread that clearly and without doubt shows why there is such a large pricing disparity between diesel and gasoline throughout much of the country.
In fact, let's go back through this thread and revisit these posts to see exactly what has been explained that shows how oh so wrong I am, and how my "socialist ass cant accept reality"....
Post #4: You claimed that prices difference is due to the change in the refining process for ULSD and additional additives. You repeated this in post #6. Problem here is, how much does the refining process and additive pack of ULSD add to the cost of each gallon of diesel over what we had with LSD previously. Consider LSD also had refining steps to remove sulfur, and required additives. You, nor anyone else, ever put an exact figure on it. So no, you nor anyone else explained it. Plus, here's three problems with that argument. First problem: The refining differences between LSD and ULSD, as well as the additives, are not enough cost difference to warrant such a large price disparity. Second problem: You are ignoring that diesel fuel prices began outpacing gasoline back in 2004 - which happens to be well BEFORE the introduction of ULSD. Third problem: Canada uses some of the exact same diesel fuel that we use, sometimes coming from the exact same refineries. Yet in Canada, diesel fuel can be found for much cheaper than gasoline, or near the same price as regular unleaded.
Post #8: You claimed that fuel costs more in Canada than here. First, you simply gave a blanket statement of all fuel, not just a price difference between diesel and gasoline. Secondly, in post #11 Loosewheel gave us the current Canadian prices (in U.S. dollars) in his area of a gallon of gas and diesel, showing how diesel is still quite cheaper than gasoline.... an entire $0.34 cents cheaper!
Post #9: Greenshield claimed it was the EPA and other environmental groups causing fuel prices to rise. Problem here is that it was a blanket statement about all fuel in general and worldwide, and really had no specific details regarding diesel prices and zero explanation as to why diesel prices jumped far ahead of gasoline in recent years in the U.S.
Which brings us to our last "explanation":
You also forgot a key thing. Demand for fuel is lower in Canada
Ok, so another blanket statement about all fuel in general. Tell me again how that explains the price difference between gas vs. diesel. Tell me also how come diesel, in some cases coming from the exact same refineries, is 50+ cents more expensive per gallon than gasoline in the U.S., but 30+ cent cheaper per gallon than gasoline in Canada?
See.... you nor anyone else has explained anything yet. Not only that, but what little explanation was attempted has been blown apart with huge loopholes that so far you have blatantly refused to acknowledge. :doh:
