jmortensen Posted July 15, 2011 Share #25 Posted July 15, 2011 Looks like only Australia and New Zealand require a lower sulfur content than the US: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-low-sulfur_diesel."The transition to ULSD is not without substantial costs. The US Government has estimated that pump prices for diesel fuel will increase between $.05 and $.25 per gallon as a result of the transition. And, according to the American Petroleum Institute, the domestic refining industry has invested over $8 Billion to comply with the new regulations."

LeonV Posted July 15, 2011 Share #26 Posted July 15, 2011 In Europe, they also subsidizes diesel prices. In the US, we subsidize corn-based ethanol. Go figure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
