It's possible, but the price ratio made a HUGE inversion over a period of only a few months. I have trouble believing that even the ultra-low sulfur stuff went from costing (guessing here) 75% of gas to (again, guess) 150% of gas in production. That's a HUGE change. The fact that it coincided with the increased demand for diesel by consumers makes me believe that there was some price manipulation goin' on
My guessing was based on what I remember the relative costs to be while looking at gas station signs.
