If raising the price on an item doesn't create MORE of that product, then what does raising the price do for the problem except put more profit in the hands of the owner.

It is supply and demand as the Chinese (and Indian ) economies grow this will become more apparant the price will continue to rise with production at near 100% capacity.
Diesel is easier to refine than gasoline but it still needs refining (which costs $) and it needs more filtration as it contains more pollutents .
The sooner we lessen our dependence on oil the better it will run out one day the cost is only heading in one direction and the countries that have the biggest reserves exploit our addiction both politically and financially .
