Tax, somthing like 80% of fuel prices are tax.
The actual cost of producing diesel varies according to supply and demand, the less people who use diesel the cheaper it is because a certain amount of diesel is a natural by-product of oil refining, like LPG, but if the demand for diesel is higher then a greater proportion of the crude oil has to be used to make diesel and it actually becomes more expensive to refine than petrol, hope that makes sense.

Petrol cost is desperate with the help of the seller - interior the middle East, North Sea, Texas or Russia- and is a lot an identical the international over, besides the undeniable fact that guy or woman countries might have deals with guy or woman companies. How lots it actual expenditures the guy interior the line, on the different hand (the acquisition cost), is laid low with the merchants - and of direction with the help of tax. I heard that petrol in this us of a (uk) is the same cost to take advantage of - till you upload the tax. ought to that probably be actual??

Not sure, but here in the Netherlands taxes on cars that drive on diesel are higher than on cars that drive on petrol. So here at least driving diesel only makes sense when driving a lot.

There is more tax on diesel to encourage people to buy unleaded. But I dont think there is a great difference.
