The one you posted before that showed the opposite and correct fact that until recently diesel cost less.

Also can't take a graph with that spelling of diesel seriously.

Every graph I look at changes so I may very well be wrong.

Diesel costs more to produce but i think the petrol station only reflects this by a couple of pence at most.

I think it is to do with tax. The gouverment know that diesel do more mpg than their petrol rival. SO you are going to fill up less, inturn paying less tax.

So they win you over buy saying tax on new diesel cars will be cheaper so buy one, then knowing that they are going to rob you on the fuel!

Look at diesel in europe. is 20 english pence cheaper on average than petrol as the gouverments want to bring down their emissions. Deep down ours dont give 2 fooks providing the money is pilling it as we are skint due to our other expences...like thinking we can provide for everyone all over the world! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
