I don't know what all the causes are. But, I've watched and read as it happened.

I first saw road-diesel climb above regular gas during the Katrina thing in Louisiana. The government stated - at the time - that diesel fuel from all over the USA was being diverted to Louisiana to run water-pumps and the price spikes would be temporary. That's when they went up, but they never came back down.
Last heating oil I bought (high sulfur) was $2.49 per gallon, and at that time - diesel at the pump was $3.99.
