$ 2.99/gal. for diesel in Tucson (not for the Boxster !).

Someone please explain for me why diesel has become more expensive than premium in the last 10 years or so. It should be cheaper than regular!

To my knowledge it is because in America diesel isn't thought of Jetta fuel, rather peterbuilt fuel. The tax on diesel is much higher because the vehicles that use it are much heavier and account for more damage to infrastructure. To my knowledge that is, and what do I know.
