than petrol? Is it more expensive in other counties too? I'm sure it didn't used to be in the UK 
Why is diesel $1 more per gallon .....
Petrol in Ireland is €1.18 a litre as of today and €1.26 for diesel, that's pretty high, though it has been higher before, as I remember it being nearly €1.30 a litre about a year ago when some other crisis was going on. I can't see on what basis diesel is so much more expensive in the states than here, as its made from the same feedstock, maybe its just because they don't produce so much diesel because there are far fewer diesel cars, but that seems a bit chicken and egg, I think my next car will be a diesel, as they are more or less the same as petrols now, in fact some of the diesels are better, the Ford diesels are much better than the petrols for power and all that, for instance. Also of course the fuel economy is way better as well, and now the whole tax thing favours diesels here, so its hard to argue against getting one.

Why is diesel $1 more per gallon .....
It's running close to if not over 4 dollars a gallon here vs 3.25 or so for gasoline.
The best car I ever owned was a 1983 300sd turbo diesel Mercedes. Thing was a monster but elegant. I drove that car to half the states in the union; of course diesel was 83 cents a gallon then.

Why is diesel $1 more per gallon .....
Okay, I have done some maths
1 gallon = 3.78 litres
1 Dollar = 0.635 Euro, so
1 gallon at 4 dollars US
1 Litre at €1.18 EU converted to American prices would be....
1 Gallon of petrol here costs €4.46, and converting that to US Dollars.
If we were trying to pay in dollars it would costs us $7.03 per gallon over here!
But of course oil is priced in Dollars, and that crazy high price is because the dollar is quite low at present, and as the Euro buys a lot of dollar, we are not noticing the price increases so much here, as of course we all get paid in Euros. (or Sterling for our British friends). I saw today that a barrel of Brent crude is now at 106 dollars a barrel, that fact on top of the fact that the financial credit system is breaking down, while the property bubble in the US and UK croaks, and unemployment goes up means its going to be a long hot summer, and probably next year as well.

Why is diesel $1 more per gallon .....
This is an interesting little potted history of the price of oil, and how it shapes the major political events of our time, or is shaped by them.
Oil hits $100 barrel
Oil has broken through the landmark $100 a barrel, driven by a slumping dollar, geopolitical instability and worries over a winter fuel supply crunch.
See how the price of oil has risen - and fallen - since 1970 against a background of key world events.
1973 ARAB-ISRAELI WAR
Fighting between Arab and Israeli forces sent jitters through the Middle East.
Alarmed by Israeli successes, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (Opec) orchestrated the Arab oil embargo, sending prices soaring by 400% in six months. It was the first time oil had been used as a political weapon, putting pressure on the US which, in turn, persuaded Israel to accept UN mediation on the crisis.
1979 IRANIAN REVOLUTION
Months of turmoil in Iran led to the exile of the Shah and the declaration of an Islamic republic. It also led to a reduction in oil production and, at one point, the flow of crude oil from Iran was almost halted. Nervousness about the stability of Iran brought together the other major Arab oil-producing states to ensure supply and increase prices.
1980 IRAN-IRAQ WAR
Iran weakened by the revolution was invaded by Iraq in September 1980. By November, the combined oil production of the two countries was only one million barrels a day, 6.5m fewer barrels than the year before. It meant a worldwide reduction in crude oil production of 10%. The combination of the Iranian revolution and the Iran-Iraq war caused crude oil prices to more than double from $14 in 1978 to $35 in 1981.
1986 OIL PRICE CRASH
Higher oil prices led to a reduction in demand as consumers and industry looked at ways of becoming more energy-efficient. The price rise also led to increased exploration for new sources of oil outside the traditional oil-producing regions. Saudi Arabia suffered from the reduction in revenue, made worse by new Opec quotas which meant it had also been forced to reduce production. It responded by increasing production in early 1986. Crude oil prices plummeted below $10 per barrel - but the Saudi revenue remained about the same.
1990 GULF WAR
The Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, partly prompted by the low price of oil, led to uncertainty about production and prices spiked. Iraq wanted to gain control of the world's third largest oil producer to give it more control over the world market. Following the Gulf war to liberate Kuwait, crude oil prices entered a period of steady decline, reaching their lowest level in 1994 for 21 years.
1997 ASIAN FINANCIAL CRISIS
The rapid growth in Asian economies came to a halt leading to lower consumption of oil - just at a time when Opec had begun increasing production. The combination sent prices plummeting, through to December 1998.
2001 9/11
Oil prices suffered a downturn as Russian oil production increased, and the US economy went into decline. Opec tried to stem the reduction by cutting production - but the terror attacks on 11 September sent oil prices plummeting again. Prices were down by about 35% by the middle of November. Opec delayed cutting production again until early 2002, when prices began to move upwards once more.
2003 IRAQ WAR
The American-led invasion of Iraq led to the loss of oil production in the Gulf state. In mid- 2002, there were over six million barrels per day of excess production capacity and by mid 2003, this had dropped to below two million. It dropped still further in 2004-5. A million barrels per day is not enough spare capacity to cover for any sudden drop in production and it led to an increase in prices.
2006 LEBANON CONFLICT
After Israel launched attacks on Lebanon, oil prices reached a new high of $78 per barrel. Although neither Israel nor Lebanon are oil producers, the conflict increased tension in the Middle East sending prices soaring.
2008 $100 BARREL
Geopolitical tension in Kenya, Algeria and Pakistan, as well as the threat of US sanctions against Iran have played their part. At the same time, there are fears of a cold winter in the US and Europe, and increased demand from China and India as well as the US. The falling US dollar has also driven up oil prices as they have to gain to compensate for a slide in the currency.

Why is diesel $1 more per gallon .....
I'll put it in my perspective. I loved that car, I am going to buy a new(er) car tomorrow I hope. I would in a heartbeat buy another 1983 diesel Mercedes if diesel wasn't so expensive.
When I had that car from 97-00 diesel ran from 0.68 to 0.83 cents a gallon. I was making at the time 10.65 an hour as a welder. Take an average of .75 cents. So for an hours work I could get 14.2 gallons of diesel. Which in that car would get me roughly 460 miles.
Now, diesel runs $3.99 a gallon. I make $16.25 an hour (minus bonus). That is 4 gallons for an hour of work in the same car that would get me 134 miles.
In real world terms I have lost about 326 miles of travel. For a gypsy like me that is a better measuring stick than the extra $5.60 an hour I make now; which puts me far above the average household income for Tennessee.

That's a god way of putting KB, it shows how price increases eat into your ability to make personal choices on things like travel. I guess the oil thing isn't really going to improve, so the onus is on to make better cars that don't run on oil, (or at least not oil taken from crude), and that will get you further cheaper.

Price of diesel always goes up in winter as the US use it in central heating systems-so i believe anyway. I used to drive diesel but now is it not only more expensive you also pay a premium to buy the cars. We should do what the frensh and germans did and reduce he tax on diesel which is why the best diesels are french or german.

I dunno why the US gallon is smaller than the British one, I thought everything was bigger in America? :rolleyes:
Yeah, diesel, well you do pay a bit more for the cars alright, but they are changing the car tax and the VRT here in Ireland, so its going to be a no-brainer to get diesel. The new CO2 based car tax means that gas guzzling petrol cars and suvs are going to costs between 1,000 and 2,000 euro a year to tax. I guess ultimately you will be looking at hybrids, and after that fuel cell cars.

Don't you commonly have oil fired central heating systems as in the domestic boiler is run on oil or oil fired electricity stations? It's demand for the type of oil used in power stations, domestic boilers as well as making diesel that outs the price up-at least that's my understanding of it though I may be wrong. Oil fired domestic heating is quite rare in the UK usually in isolated areas cos of the cost-usually they're gas as in from the north sea, or propane in isolated rural areas. our power generation is Coal, gas and hydro electric and nuclear. Dear old maggie she was so determined to shut the coal mines she ignored all the warnings we might actually need the stuff for power generaton in the future when the gas runs out-which it now is.

Because they kept sixteen ounces to the pint as well as sixteen ounces to the pound where we, for some reason, moved to twenty fluid ounces to a pint.

Oh well, I am still incapable of thinking of my height in metres or my beer in litres, I am still speeding in MPH and not KPH, but more or less everything else is metric now more or less, its better, it really is, everything is readily interchangeable, and all the standards match up nice an even, I suppose that's an argument I am not likely to win with this audience.

Thinking about beer in pints and short measures makes me realise that the US pint must be almost exactly half a litre (which hardly even counts as a drink). What with a ton being a good honest 2240 pound to a tonne's 2200 you're right, they are almost interchangeable :wah:

I do the same and agree with you. I can't understand why anyone misses it.
