I can't see anything to bring the price of diesel fuel closer to gasoline. If diesel usage increases, it seems it would even increase the difference. High diesel usage in Europe is one reason suggested for the current price difference in addition to the higher tax on diesel. The recently floated proposal for increased Federal fuel tax suggested a higher additional tax on diesel than on gasoline. What would make it come down? Unless/until the prices get closer I will not consider buying another diesel.
