Yes, the price of diesel fuel is higher than any grade of gasoline. Trucks powered by diesel engines transport most of the products we buy. It can cost more than $2000 to fill both fuel tanks on a truck tractor with dual 300 gallon tanks. The shipper charges the stores more for delivering the goods so they pass the costs on to the consumers in price increases. There's really not much we can do about it unless we grow our own food and go back to the old way of living. When my Mother was growing up on a farm, they were pretty much self sufficient as far as food goes.
