    3. Why i diesel dearer than petrol
    Why i diesel dearer than petrol

    When I sterted driving, which was a long time ago, diesel, or derv as it was called then was a lot cheaper than petrol. I cant remember the time scale, but it then got to be about the same price. In the last few years it has begun galloping ahead of petrol, and is currently six or seven pence a litre dearer. Given that diesel is a less refined product, and presumably cheaper to produce. Does anyone know why it is dearer at the pump
