As the sulfur content of diesel fuel goes down, it`s costing more money to buy some.
Diesel fuel prices are above four dollars a gallon in North Dakota. They`re much higher than gasoline prices, and it used to be the other way around.
North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources director Lynn Helms says new federal low-sulfur standards for diesel fuel that`s used in over-the-road vehicles have caused the prices to rise.
Refineries needed to install new equipment, and more oil is needed to produce a gallon of low-sulfur fuel.
Helms says there`s also the Europe factor. He says there`s heavy demand for diesel fuel there because many more road vehicles use it -- and there`s an oversupply of gasoline.
