Really?!?!?? Over here it is cheaper, altough the politicians and bureaucrats have an agenda to raise taxes on diesel to make it as expensive as gas. Currently one liter gasoline costs US$1.46 while one liter diesel goes for US$1.37.

There are some persons owning american cars over here, and they really have to dig deep in their pockets when filling their tanks. They will probably be outlawed soon, come to think about it, they are not very friendly to the environment. Something to consider when buying a car as well..

Diesel fuel is less expensive to refine from crude oil, so it should be cheaper than gas. 70% of the price here is taxes going directly on the state budget.

The good thing about diesels tough, is their reliability, higher utilization grade of fuel (and hence less pollution, altough a bit more dangerous for humans) and higher turning moment. Towing with a diesel is much better, in my opinion.

Having a RV when going to regattas would really be nice. We have been tenting, to keep costs low, and have been a bit jelous when other teams have snuggled into their vans.. Hotels are way to expensive..

The tent we got last year is quite nice tough :-)
