I never used to pay attention to diesel prices but I've heard here and other places that traditionally diesel was about the same as 87 octane. For the last few years I've been noticing it and I dont think I've seen it dip below a few cents less than premium. I live in Northern Va for whatever difference that makes.
I guess that isn't par for the course across the country? I know more and more stuff has been moved with trucks, wouldnt that make the price of diesel go up country wide?
I've heard that long term diesel demand is predicted to increase heavily but it wasnt mentioned what will drive that demand (I assumed foreign markets) can we expect that the price of diesel will rise more quickly than gasoline?
Right now I drive a standard 2.0 that gets 29mpg on 87 octane. I'm considering buying a wrecked tdi that would allow me to get 50~mpg with diesel. I understand it would take awhile to pay off the cost of the swap but I wish I knew if the value proposition is likely to get worse or better over time.
