One reason gas was made cheap, was to spur the economy. Cheaper gas gets people to open their wallets to buy things. However, there is little thought or concern given to the fuel surcharge built into every single thing one buys and or consumes.
The oil companies know this and in that way are easily able to keep the profit margin high for diesel.

It wasn't that long ago that diesel was half of what gas cost.

The process to produce diesel hasn't changed since then.

Fishy really isn't the right word.

Greedy is...
