Price Gouging on Heating Oil vs Off-Road Diesel

[JWR]

I was just comparing diesel to heating fuel this past weekend. Here in NY they are the same thing. HHO was almost a 50 cents more a gallon than the current cost of diesel, and not off road diesel but the price at the pump for the un-dyed stuff

Crazy pricing. Is there a lot of tax on the HHO? We have a (small) local county so-called energy tax on HHO. 1.5%

there is a 2% county tax on HHO here, but that only accounts for 10 cents. The tax on diesel is about 24 cents. So they are basically charging about 60 cents more a gallon for the delivery.
