However I should note diesel fuel is almost as cheap (and sometimes cheaper) than regular gasoline in the DC area. I filled up today at $3.95. Regular was $3.90. Premium was $4.10. A 20 % premium for diesel is not at all accurate- at least in my area- and I think we all know diesel is far cheaper to refine than gasoline.

Nationally, and in almost every part of the country, Diesel is more than gas right now and has been all year. Twenty six cents per gallon, so it isn't even 10% more right now. The gap is historically less in Summer, and widens in Winter. The delta seems to hover about 25 cents more in warm months and 50 cents in cold months.
Diesel is not cheaper to refine than gasoline. Especially now that it is the mandated Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel.
