I'm not really answering your question because I don't know the real answer. But I did get an explanation just this past weekend from an ex-chemist at a refinery as to why diesel is cheaper than gas (usually) in the first place and historically has always been cheaper. One of the main reasons is that gasoline costs the refinery much more to produce. Diesel is a very basic and non-complicated fuel as far as the process to make it as well as the additives that are added. Gasoline is more difficult to produce from crude oil and has a lot more additives for anti-knock, weather conditions, and all sorts of other things too. Anyways, that's a major factor contributing to the fact that diesel is cheaper than gas, at least according to him.
