Gas prices are so low now because the cost of oil has dropped around 40%. So that has been passed on the consumer. The countries that have a lot of oil for some reason haven't been able to keep prices of crude oil high as they once did (OPEC). Also the US is getting a lot of oil from Canada and is also producing more for itself. You can not ignore the impact or renewables either.

Now that gasoline is down to below 1.50 per gal why is diesel fuel still so high?

Gasoline supplies ended up being much higher than expected, due to the recession (or depression, depending on who you ask). So the typical forecast for gasoline usage was wrong, resulting in too much gasoline produced. The overshoot caused prices to drop. Diesel was not overshot like that and actually had been a bit low on production for a little while, so prices on diesel would remain up, until supply caught up and brought the price into line.
