Why is a tanker truck hauling diesel gas more expensive to haul than the same tanker hauling gas?
Most tankers can haul around 8500 gallons of gasoline and the same unit can only haul around 7500 gallons of diesel due to the weight difference between gasoline and diesel. Diesel weighs around 7 lbs per gallon while gasoilne weighs around 5.9 lbs per gallons provided the product is around 60 degrees, thus meaning that during the winter product is heavier and during the summer it is lighter.
