Frankie Z, I love those smilie faces, especially the blue one with the "Amazement" face. Yes, to my surprise Diesel around here is more expensive than gas. I would assume it is because there is not a big following in this area. That blue face is the same one I had when I saw the diesel price sign for the first time.

In PA and NJ, diesel may be cheaper than gas. Diesel is dirt cheap (today's standards) in Detroit from what I read. In the Philippines, diesel is much, much, much cheaper than gas because the whole country is transported by buses and the so called "Jeepneys" the American WWII Jeeps converted into a small bus. In the Philippines, I believe, there are also no emissions requirements for diesels. Also, with the undescribible traffic, High mileage and an engine able to succumb high temperatures with Air Conditioning on is a must, hence, the diesel is better in the Phils.

I could also bet than in major cities, ie Detriot, Chicago, where they are major transportation hubs for 18-wheelers, diesel could be cheaper than gas based on demand.

Also. let's not forget your local General Assembly and Uncle Sam for fuel taxes. Either way, you need to check out your local pumps.
