Diesel fuel advances are being slowed by corporate design of the oil companies. The problem is that farm co-ops could produce fuel on their own if diesel engines were widely available in vehicles.
Since the existing oil companies can't profit from local production of biodiesel, the only mechanism they have to slow the development of diesel technology is to price diesel fuel higher than gasoline. I believe this is a conscious decision on big oils' part to influence the future of markets and keep customers in their camp.
Our politicians don't investigate issues like this because there is no corporate constituent big enough to force them to. You could write your representative if you think it would help.
