Why is diesel more expensive per litre than petrol ?



Answers:
In India petrol is approximately Rs.50 per litre as compared to Rs.35 for Diesel. I'm sorry but conditions here are a little different from where you live and I can't answer that question.
I believe Diesel is more expensive because all the Military run on diesel and think of all the military in Iraq
every road tractor going down the highway, nearly every farm tractor along with trains and boats. so there is a pretty high demand for diesel.
The reason is simple.Diesel is a less refined form of Crude Oil and Petrol is a more refined form.Therefore the difference in price and thats why petrol is more expensive.
