Fluffs questioned:

Can anyone clarify why is diesel more pricey than habitual gas?
I also judge it takes less to manufacture or refine but it cost more, why?
Would it not help the farmers, car drivers and the state if Diesel cost or Tax was less.
Diesel cars are also shown to be more fuel efficient, why is it not encouraged by sinking the tax or cost of them.
Import and Regime Taxes, licensing, Stamp duty, conveying fess, tyres, parts and additional cost of a vehicle and running cost must be based on fuel efficiency.

    I agree. I reflect the Regime wants to due away with it. The cars and trucks that are diesel, do last a long long time, I guess they dont get ample taxes from as many sales so payment more on the fuel. You are so right!

    Diesel is very much like home heating oil. Trucks then aren’t the only users of this manufactured goods.

    Diesel cars are more efficient BUT they do yield more pollution especially particulates.

    Another problem is that diesel is not unfilled at each rank. It earnings here is less struggle between stations, and it’s one wits public here don’t like diesel cars.

    Diesel engines are more pricey to buy & keep up than gas, too. The public ususally won’t pay superfluous except here is a excellent wits. Right now diesel in my town is $4.75 and gasoline only $3.90… so any MPG savings is lost in the privileged hold price.

    In America, the public just isn’t too fond of them. They don’t sell well. I reflect most of us reflect bestow diesel cars are like the diesel cars of the 70s and 80s: very loud, smelly, and slow to accelerate. It’s incorrect now but public are slow to chat their mind.

    Decently give and demand. The demand is more and the suppliers can play around with the prices.
