A lot of the price differences between diesel and gas have little to do with the actual cost of production. In many states, diesel is taxed at a much higher rate than gas. The justification often offered up is that most diesel is burned by heavy trucks that cause more wear and tear on the roads, so it is appropriate that they pay more in taxes for road repair. In actuality, I suspect that it is simply a matter of political expediency as a higher tax on diesel would make fewer voters angry. In the last fuel tax go-round in Indiana for example, diesel ended up being taxed at something like $.50/gallon higher than gas.
That may be true in some states but that is not the case here in SC.

Two days ago I paid $4.40 in California. Now in Arizona and the price was $3.19. I don't know about CA but in some parts of the country, you pay a State tax and local communities tack on additional taxes.
