More diesel news; when it rains............
More diesels bound for US market. This sucks. Diesel is about 10 cents higher then regular around here. :) If every soccer mom in the US gets a diesel it will drive #2 up, up, up and out of sight. ...

Soccer moms driving diesel minivans are not going to adversely affect the price of diesel fuel. The world runs on diesel fuel. OTR trucks, cargo ships, construction equipment, heating oil, trains, etc... Passenger vehicles are a very small percentage of diesel fuel use in the grand scheme of things.
I know what you're saying but:
#1. U.S. refineries are set up to make gasoline, not diesel fuel.
#2. U.S. refineries are maxed out.
#3. If a lot more vehicles in the US went to diesel it would strain the maxed out supply even more.
Less of anything is not good for prices. Gas used to be more expensive by 100%. Then Cummins put a diesel in a Dodge truck. Next thing I knew diesel was more expensive and there were 100's of thousands of diesel pickups running around using millions of gallons of diesel.
