SV: gas $ (was Re: SV: Re[2]: [AT] NC Trailer regulations

[Robert L. Holtzer]

Years ago one of the popular science/mechanics magazines writers (Smokey 
Yunick??) opined that diesel would eventually cost more than 
gasoline.  This prediction was based on the higher energy content in diesel 
on a volume or weight basis (I don't recall which).  Based on the prices 
I've seen, this prediction has finally come true.
