GK> Last week when I got Diesel around here, it was something like EUR 1.17.
Diesel makes me sad. It was a great cheap energy source for a reliable,
dependable, cheap engine - then they reformulated it, which added a ton of
refinement cost to each gallon, automakers required the addition of a urea
system, and made a great system much more expensive and bodgy.
When I drove a Rabbit (Golf) Diesel in the 80s, Diesel was simple to refine -
and cheaper than unleaded gasoline. My car got 55 mpg. Now Diesel is more
expensive than Unleaded, and requires DEF.
