Driving by Kroger this am...Diesel fuel is $1.90/gal, Unleaded is $1.93/gal

This might be the first time I ever recall diesel being cheaper than regular gas. AND, I don't recall it being this cheap in a Loooong time. Wonder what's up... Perhaps less demand from some market sector.. but I-81 is busy as ever and farms haven't gone out of business. Maybe a lagging indicator a few months off? What do you all think?
