why is gas on average $3.12 and diesel fuel $4.60 a gallon in the USA? Why is there such a huge difference?
In: 0
Diesel is in fairly low demand in the US compared to the rest of the world, as such there isn’t as much diesel made or made available in the US, which drives up prices. Additionally, diesel in the US is often taxed more than regular gas. Since most diesel vehicles in the US are commercial vehicles as well, consumers aren’t directly impacted as much, so this is more of a business tax.
