This is clearly something that people either disagree upon, or are confused about... perhaps it's just an issue of semantics. However, even
answers.com says that:
Diesel is generally simpler to refine than gasoline and often costs less (though price fluctuations often mean that the inverse is true).
Obviously, they could be wrong... the Internet is replete with plenty of disinformation and misinformation. The point being that either it's easy to be mistaken/confused on this issue, or we are just arguing semantics.
