Why is jet fuel cheaper than gasoline?
Jet fuel is transported from refineries by pipeline, which is an extremely affordable method to move large volumes across great distances. For example, shipping a gallon of fuel across 1,000 miles can cost pennies or less. Jet A Fuel is Less Expensive to Manufacture The most easily captured fuels that distill first are propane gasses and other liquefied petroleum. Some of the next fuels that separate from the distillation process are diesel and Jet A (the kerosene family).
