The reason that diesel is more expensive is because the oil industry can charge whatever it wants for it's products. Our wonderful government allowed all the major oil companies to merge over the past 20 years, so now there is no competition. There has not been a new refinery built in how long? Why, because that would increase supply and lower prices. Last year ExxonMobil made AGAIN over 40 billion in profits. And to add insult to injury, the oil companies receive from our government over 18 billion per year in additional tax breaks, true!@ What is amazing to me is that we stand back and do nothing about this. What you CAN do. Contact your elected officials and tell them you want the Oil companies broken apart as there is no competition. Also, do not buy Exxonmobil products as they are the leader and set prices for the rest of the industry. Finally, log onto breakupexxonmobil.com for more information. Write your elected officials and tell them that you want all tax subsid All Lies!
