Price of Diesel Coming Down

As a potential future owner of a diesel vehicle, I have been watching diesel prices (relative to gasoline prices) fall in Northern California. I just checked with the California Energy Commission website (clicky) that reports the average cost of fuel:

5/27/2013 California, average cost of regular : $4.022
5/29/2013 Northern California, average cost of diesel: $3.932

Isn't it remarkable that at least for the time being, diesel is cheaper than regular? Wonder what is going on here? Is this a harbinger of a long-term trend?
