RUG goes for anywhere from 3.17/gallon to 3.45/gallon.

Diesel is going for 3.55/gallon to 4.29/gallon.

I don't understand this spread, it makes no sense, unless gas stations are trying to "enhance" their profits.

BP stations are sometimes high, sometimes low, so it doesn't seem to depend on the brand.

Maybe the middleman?

Could it depend on supply? There is really only one market for gasoline, the internal combustion engine. Those engines require a lot of fuel, but when compared to diesel, which fuels the other half of the internal combustion engine, plus all the heating fuel, plus all the jet fuels, I think the squeeze is on "fuel" more then gas.

RUG is currently $3.09 and diesel #2 is $3.79 in Fort Worth, TX. A few weeks ago the two were about equal in price then gas fell and diesel rose.

I understand that ULSD is more expensive than the old diesel to refine, but my opinion about the spread between it and RUG has more to do with public relations/politics than anything else. There are a lot more voices to scream bloody murder about high prices with RUG than there are with diesel. Who cares about wierdos like us and the commercial users.

They're cracking diesel to make gas.
