I think it is related to how the tax is computed in Europe. When I  
worked in France 18 years ago diesel had much lower tax than petrol  
and cost around 30% less IIRC. It is closer now. In the UK the tax is  
based on the pollution content of the fuel, so diesel and super petrol  
are more expensive than the standard stuff.
cheers,
Frank
