>>Now that diesel is all the rage, the value of various crude oils and processing methods will have changed to emphasize diesel.<< Yes, the global demand for diesel is already very high. So it doesn't seem practical to switch more cars over to diesel. >>If electric vehicles become all the rage, refineries will focus on power station fuel.<< The new Chevy Volt electric car will have a battery with a range of forty miles or so, and an onboard liquid-fuel generator to recharge the battery on long trips. If that approach is widely adopted, the refineries will optimize product for those generators.
