Diesel now less than unleaded regular
During the bad old days a year ago when gas prices were so high, diesel was even higher. Diesel got to 5.00 a gallon, almost a full dollar more than unleaded regular. Even with the improved mileage of diesel it didnt make up for that big a difference.
Now amazingly diesel is five to ten cents a gallon less than unleaded regular. This is where it historically has been, prior to the spike last year. Diesel also has to overcome a higher fuel tax than unleaded regular.
Diesel is $2.05 to $2.15 a gallon now here in Houston.
I have no idea how the automakers will produce reasonable sized cars that get 42 miles to the gallon. So will Porsche go back to 4 cylinder under 2 litre cars. Even the 914 didnt get 42 miles to the gallon.
