They jacked up the price of diesel, a previously cheap source of fuel for industry and farm use.

I wouldn't put it past oil companies and governments to make LPG almost as dear as petrol.

Diesel and Aviation Fuel are essentially from the same fractions of crude oil. Therefore when refining you make one at the expense of the other.

Prior to the GFC the airline business was going great guns and soaking up lots of avgas. The developing Asian economies have many diesel powered generators. Essentially a bidding war between them arose with only the Big Oil companies being the winners.
