Actually, the federal tax on diesel fuel is .24 per gallon, while the tax on gasoline is .18 per gallon. In Florida, the state tax on gasoline is .35, and the diesel tax is .20. So, at least in Florida, the tax on diesel fuel is 9 cents per gallon cheaper than gasoline. Hardly taxing the crap out of it.
