I watched an interesting program last night. Some news personality was interviewing the ex-ceo of Shell. Lots of what he had to say was very interesting. When asked why deisel was more expensive than gas, he said deisel is the "best" of the barrel of oil, and is very much in high demand. Gasoline, on the other hand is very availible. Jet a, diesel, and home heating oil are in the same family. Airlines are literally "chasing barrels", trying to keep the fleets flying. Very interesting program. It's nice to see an in depth analysis of the situation, rather than soound bites about the evil oil companies on the evening news, and politicians trying to make brownie points.
