In what year? ;-)

The facts, as best I can find:

Airnav provides an average retail price for Jet-A on a per state basis:
http://www.airnav.com/fuel/greatdeals/pocket?type=A

National average for Jet-A appears to be around $5.25/gal or so.

The U.S. DOE provides an average retail price for diesel on a regional and
national basis:
http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/oog/info/wohdp/diesel.asp

National average for diesel appears to be around $4.74/gal or so.

Of course that is retail price. No clue on wholesale. Still, Jet-A appears
to be more expensive at retail so I'd be surprised if wholesale prices for
for both would invert that relationship to the extent claimed. Not
impossible, just not credible absent supporting material.
