Diesel debate... more gallons of rug from crude?

[bennett]

I am in the middle of a debate with a freind who thinks he knows it all about the problem with diesel costing so much more.
He says that refineries can make more regular-unleaded-gas than diesel using the same amount of crude oil.
I say BS.... just wondered if there is any truth to it?
He says if they bypass the first and second cut of crude ( for diesel and korsene) they can make more rug???

Price hasn't dropped here in Utah... paid $3.19 a gallon yesterday
