[Vwdiesel] Cheap tomorrow?

[Hayden Chasteen]

Here in the US, there is still alot of diesel used as home heating oil 
during the winter. So alot of production is diverted to that in the winter. 
We always have a ratcheting up of prices in the winter because of that. 
Also, there tends to be a punitive tax on diesel fuel in most states and 
from the Feds that ups the price of diesel more than it should be.  Besides, 
all the President's men need to make a profit!!!!!  ;^)

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.
