Many states her now charge more for Diesel. Taxed higher due to
increased road wear caused by trucks.

<<opinions?>>

Yes. First Diesels in cars and trucks were poorly engineered.  So
everyone
converted them to gasoline.

Then gasoline prices went up. Diesel engines became  better engineered.

Everyone started switching to Diesel.

Then the Diesel price went up higher than gasoline.

Now everyone wants to switch to propane.

Of course you know the rest- supply and demand will drive up the price
of
propane.

Finally there will be no cheap fuel-supply and demand we are told.

We may be able to install a mast and sails out on the open highway -wind
is
still free.

But then someone will find a way to regulate wind. Wind hours per mile.
