Diesel used to be cheaper than gasoline . In the mid late 70s light duty diesel pickups and cars began to enter the main stream . Those vehicles easily achieved 20 to 50 mpg , they were slow and not powerful . Usually most had major mechanical issues , head gasket failure was very common , most of these early main stream diesels were gas engines converted by manufacturers to become diesels , parts and design were not up to par ….IMO as diesels have improved especially in mpg’s department over the years till now , refinery companies jumped on the money train and started charging much higher for diesel , since they were selling less diesel even to semi truck owners

So much for the $1 hr raise you work 8 hrs and won’t even get you 2 gallons. How about the diesel price it’s almost a dollar per gal higher why does everyone ignore that? The supply chain runs off of diesel so that $1 hr raise you got is now a defecit of about $3 hr in your wage
