Diesel is now almost 20% more expensive than petrol. (89.9/l v. 105.9/l)
Anyone have some wisdom on whether the gap will close, or widen, in the coming months / years?

The price gap between diesel and petrol should drop significantly once the new refining plant comes online in about 12 to 18 months time.
