Part of the reason that diesel is higher than gasoline is the taxes are higher on diesel. The federal tax on Diesel is 24 cents and the federal tax on gasoline is 18 cents. That doesn't even take into account what the states tax levels are. someone in Washington didn't feel that it was right that diesel owners paid less than those that bought gasoline.
