Big Oil seems slick as U.S. turns to diesel cars
This guy hit the nail on the head in his analysis of the sudden spike in diesel prices.

I still hold to supply and demand. But when price changes before demand, then I blame greed. Its one thing before a holiday weekend. it will discourage some from buying gas and allow others who need it to get it. But this sounds like an effort to prevent people from wanting diesel in the first place. Its not method manging supply, its manipulating market trends to suit their business interests. Slightly different in my mind.

Diesel used to be pretty cheap in the UK but now that there are lots of diesel cars about the price has gone up, and now it's more expensive than regular unleaded petrol.
