Exclamation US Exporting Mucho Diesel to Mexico @<$2/Gal.

Check out these export figures. Diesel sells for less than $2 a US gallon down there. If market forces were really at work, why don't the US refiners sell it ino the US market? If I was an American, I'd want to know...

Mexico does not have the same tax, emissions and regulation laws.

Its cheap because its junk compared to our fuel.

Funny, you guys seem to be refining it for them. Just to be clear, that chart is a total of finished distilate products to Mexico from US refiners. I wonder where the distilates go in months they are not exported to Mexico? Have a look down the street at your local filling station.

Second, there is no way diesel attracts $2.00 per gallon in tax...
