Why does diesel cost 15p per liter more than unleaded petrol?

I think the oil companies are having us consumers over a barrel. Since the duty on fuel (Unleaded and Diesel) are the same, the difference is made up through the Oil companies and retailers. The media is saying that it's to do with supply and demand, well I think that is bull. Becuase there has be a shift from petrol to diesel cars the oil companies can see that us consumers will be visiting the petrol forecourts less often because a diesel car delivers more MPG than a petrol car. So in order to make up for the loss they hike up the diesel prices to make up the potential loss. Diesel is cheaper to refine that unleaded too.
