Well, I brought up my diesel "conspiracy theory" mostly as a joke.
However, I do remember just a couple of months ago noticing that diesel
and unleaded were pretty much the same price. Then the price of
unleaded spiked, and diesel didn't. Just curious to know why the price
of diesel hasn't noticeably increased (in my area, anyway) during the
same period of time that's seen a 30% increase in the price of unleaded.
