Regular gasoline priced higher than diesel
Today, in Denver, I saw something I haven't seen for a long time: gasoline more expensive than diesel fuel. Regular gasoline was $3.789 and diesel was $3.669. Has anyone seen this anywhere else?

Figures, I just picked up a gas powered truck.
The idea that diesel is not as refined is incorrect. Diesel is a differnet component from the refining process. Historically demand was lower relative to the amount produced so it tended to be cheaper than gas. More recently, demand for diesel has gone up especially in europe so they are shipping it out and the price has gone up. In addition, the low sulfur rules made it more expensive to refine starting a few years back.
