What would help the most the fastest would be to convert from gas to
diesel cars. No chance, diesel fuel costs 50 cents a gallon more than
gas because of govt taxes. If they can't get this one simple thing
right, there is no hope until a crisis collapses the system.

Until Bluteck has been proven, deisel is not the answer. You want to
breath the stink and particulates of the "average" deisel, be my
guest.

The reason diesel costs more per gallon in the US is not due so much
to taxes as to the "therm" content. Whatever fuel you buy, you are
buying "therms" (or BTUs) and the cost per "therm" s pretty well
constant between Gasoline, Diesel, Propane, Natural gas, and
electricity after you factor out transport costs.

It's supply and demand, driven in no small part by
the seasonal demand for heating oil. Here and now,
diesel is about $3.70 while gasoline is about $3.10.
Over the course of the last 14 months, it's been up
and down; at some point (last spring, IIRC) costing
LESS per gallon than gasoline for three or four months.
Most of that time, the per therm cost has been
significantly lower for diesel than for gasoline.
