Right. Of course, in the US, Jet-A (diesel) is just about the same
price, or even a bit higher, than avgas.

Which is, of course, as it should be, without government social
engineering. It's also why Thielert hasn't gained any traction here.

How do you come to that conclusion? Jet fuel is lower on the distillation
scale, and should be easier to distill from oil, and get a bit more per
barrel than Avgas. Add to that economy of scale, and it should be much less
expensive.

Agreed.

I was referring to the British penchant for taxing the crap out of
avgas (the fuel of hte rich) and leaving Jet-A (the fuel of the
proletariat) pretty much alone.

You're right, Jet-A in this country *should* be much cheaper than
avgas.
