Well yes, that's a give. Here in Germany, I believe the taxes account for about half??

But how can the cost benefit not be as large? When I'm paying €0.14 less than regular petrol as well as using anywhere between 3-5 litres less per 100km?? Maybe not in one week, but over a number of years the savings are pretty apparent.

But anyway, I think the question that's being asked by some people is why in the US diesel is [now] more expensive than petrol.
