I thing the long term curve for diesel is trending up; although, there will be period of decline until prices bottom, making a floor upon which the next rise in prices will hit a new all time hight. It's all a matter of supply and demand, and with "peck oil" possibly having occurred, and robust, growing economies like China and India providing a wealth level to its citizen capable of allowing its citizen an income sufficient to afford auto transportation, the demand for oil will only increase putting pressure on the costs.
You do know that China, with a population of about 1.3 billion, and India with a population of 1.1 billion are the number 1 and number 2 most populated countries in the world. It is estimated the population of India will exceed the population of China somewhere around 2045, if the world make it that long. Wow, that makes for a huge market for the auto manufacturers, and could be bad news to Americans who have grown up on cheep energy.
