[Vwdiesel] Cheap tomorrow?

[Chuck Carnohan]

The U.S. runs on diesel fuel. Trains, trucks, jets ('bout the same fuel), construction equipment, heating oil... it all requires millions of gallons of diesel fuel. There is no substitute yet. So, under our current administration with oilmen at the helm, it is no great wonder that diesel if so high. Diesel is a wonderful "cash cow" for the likes of Exxon and Halliburton (Dick Cheney's company). Until we see a change in our political governance here in the USA, we will continue to be bamboozled beyond our wildest dreams! 
Question for the group: Why aren't we (USA) getting all of the oil we want out of Iraq for the cost of freight? Oil should be at an all time low here in the States considering the debt we are amassing toward "stablizing" the Middle East.
Diesel in Singapore is no more expensive than it is here in Idaho??? What is with that? AMAZING.

Today I check the prices in Singapore.
unleaded S$1.91/liter
diesel S$1.44/liter
which translate to
unleaded $1.33/liter
diesel $1.01/liter
or
unleaded $5.03/us gallon
diesel $3.83/us gallon
At least diesel is cheaper here.
I remember a month ago in LA the diesel was $3.25/g.
Why is diesel cost more than unleaded regular in US? it just doesn't make sense.
Who would want to drive a diesel car paying more for diesel fuel and diesel engine premium? It just doesn't pay any more in my opinion.
If car companies want to be successfully at reintroduce diesel technology they first have to address this question and find a way to lower the diesel price in order to attract more buyers.
