I thought that in a given barrel of oil only so much can be made into diesel or gasoline and it was more efficient to try and make some of each.

Gas here (Southern New Hampshire is "here" while on spring break) has just gone up to 3.099 on average. Down further south in Rhode Island, I saw an average price of about 3.259 two days ago. It's definitely climbing. I just consider it more motivation to start modding projects and to train on my bicycle.
