The fuel price gap is closing. At the BMW place recently, while looking at the new diesels they have, I was talking to the salesman and service manager about fuel prices. Manufacturers have been lobbying and pushing hard to get diesel prices competitive with gasoline. European manufacturers have diesels here now with plans of more on the way. Japanese and domestic manufacturers have plans to introduce diesel models. They are all lobbying hard for an equalization of diesel and gasoline prices. Apparently it is beginning to work, as the gap is closing between diesel and gasoline prices. I also read recently that the domestic refineries have for years had a 2:1 ratio for production of gas versus diesel. They have began a 1:1 production ratio more recently, according to the story I read. Hopefully this is true and hopefully it will help equalize fuel prices.
