If you look at our exports of fuel, gas and diesel, you will see a steady increase in both, especially diesel. Diesel in the US cost between $ 3.30 to $4.00 dollars a gallon. This same fuel in Europe cost $ 8.00 to $ 9.00 dollars a liter. You do the math. The oil companies make more money, even if they import the raw crude into the US, refine it, and ship it back overseas.
A side note, it is harvest season, thus we have thousands of tractors, harvesters, and related support vehicles working our nations farms, most of these vehicles are burning DIESEL. On our farm, we can go through 500 gallons of diesel every day during the fall harvest time. Same goes true in the spring during planting season.
