Default How does diesel end up lower than unleaded?

Price of unleaded in my town: $4.15
Price of diesel in my town: $4.09

How the heck dies this happen when most of the time diesel is way more?

I know that, but regular gas is usually much cheaper than diesel and now regular gas costs more.

That's what happens when unleaded gas prices go up.

I could've sworn diesel was usually cheaper, since it requires much less refining than gasoline.

Because diesel has less oil in it.

I have only seen 2 instances where diesel was less expensive. Now, and when the prices were falling from nearly $5 to like $1.60

Usually Diesel is a lot more expensive. Like I could probably look throuhg and find times when Diesel was $1 more.

It's because Diesel is less refined than unleaded and up. The more refined it is, the more $$$ it will cost you.
Diesel = Low Octane
Premium = High Octane
Cars with higher compression ratios in the firing chambers require higher octane. Octane is the measure of resistance to burning.

Did I help you with my vast knowledge of automotive studies?
