didn't deisel fuel used to cost significantly less than regular?

Actually, from what I was told, diesel fuel is a by-product of the
manufacture process for making gasoline. In 2001 when I bought my diesel,
gas was 15 - 20 cents a gallon higher than diesel. When diesel came even
and was even 10 cents higher, I was willing to put up with the cost because
of the great performance I got and the towing power, as well as higher
milage.

When I read in the Milwaukee Journal business section that the diesel fuel
had to be reformulated to meet the Clean Air Act, and that current
technology engines wouldn't have the same power or economy, with 110,000
miles on my truck, I decided to make the change back to gas.

I'm sure that when it's time to trade this truck in, I'll look at diesels
again.
