I've heard that the price increase was due to surging demand for diesel globally. Who knows whose rhetoric to believe, though.
Personally, I'd like to see diesel @ $10/gallon. It would give the nation the kick in the *** it needs to think beyond constant expansion, land degradation, and exploitation of cheap commodities. Then again, my car doesn't take diesel...
I think I'm a strange American in those regards, though. I'll breathe a sigh of relief when the United States no longer holds the title of biggest GDP. I see that quality becoming more of a liability than an honor.
